They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Filey

Local wild swimmer Belle E. Flopp, master of all swimming strokes, was recently washed up on the beach in what was at first thought to be a tragic accident. However, when local police discovered that Ms Flopp was in training to beat the hotly contested flying belly flop world record, they began to suspect foul play. Could it be that a jealous rival was out to clip her (water) wings? New evidence has led to detectives wading in to investigate further but Chief Inspector Paddy Lingpool feels like they're completely out of their depth and starting to tread water… As top detectives, can YOU now pool your resources to solve the clues?

Frightful Freestyle Felony Fosters Fear in Filey!

Water palaver, daring detectives! Your self-guided mystery will have you patrolling through the picturesque seaside town of Filey. On your watery investigation, you'll examine evidence at Glen & Crescent Gardens before exploring the beautiful parks, gardens and promenades. But don't get too distracted by its charm… You'll need to pool your resources to crack this one!

Can YOU solve this watery mystery and bathe in the glory of being crowned super-sleuths?

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail follows a step-free route of well-maintained footpaths and pavements. The majority of the Trail is on level ground, with gradual inclines down to and up from the promenade, making it suitable for wheelchair and pushchair users. (NOTE - The route is fully wheelchair accessible but a couple of clues might be trickier to spot due to shrubbery and foliage etc.)

From the finish point, there is a fairly long incline back up to the start car park. Some wheelchair users may find it easier to arrange to be picked up by car along the promenade after finishing the Trail.

Free on-street parking is sometimes available along West Avenue if you're arriving early, so look out for a spot on the way to the car park. There are seasonal public toilets in the gardens at the start of the Trail, and toilets with disabled access open all year round at either end of the promenade on the last section of the route.

Refreshments can be had in town halfway along the Trail, or down by the seafront towards the end. Alternatively, check the tide times and plan a picnic on the magnificent beach. There is one small gardens area where dogs are not allowed. However, they are very small gardens that you pop in and out of via the same entrance, so someone can easily wait outside and still have eyes on their fellow Trailers.

PLEASE NOTE: As Food Festivals and events are a regular fixture in Filey's events calendar, particularly during summer months, please check ahead before travelling that none are being held, as they will otherwise hamper your investigations! Click here to see the latest events in the calendar.

Mini Detective Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
