More Information:
Please Note:
The Trail commences in Flamborough village itself, taking you on a circular route, encompassing its friendly and welcoming public houses, cafes and of course traditional fish and chip shops. It is then onwards and upwards to complete the Trail at the area's most prominent man-made feature, Flamborough Head Lighthouse. Here you will be afforded awe-inspiring views of the dramatic Yorkshire coastline and towering chalk cliffs.
Once you have solved the crime, it is highly recommended that you take the time to traverse the steps to the beach below. All manner of delights await you; so why not enjoy a spot of rock pooling, explore the caves, scan the horizon for colourful cobble boats or just relax with a picnic.
The Flamborough Murder Trail is approximately 1.5 miles long. It is set mostly on flat footpaths so normal walking shoes will suffice. However, as the Trail involves some steps it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
There is a small charge for the car park at Flamborough Head lighthouse.
Mini Detective Club
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.
