We've got a mission for you in

Frodsham

Loopy beekeeper Beatrice Buzby loves eating honey so much she wants to keep all the honey bees in Frodsham to herself. So she's cunningly created a machine to generate sound waves to attract all the bees to her hives and hidden it somewhere on Frodsham Hill. If she succeeds in her fiendish plans, there will be no bees left to make honey for anyone else in Frodsham. Luckily, world-famous scientist A P Culturist has spotted what she's up to but needs an elite team of special agents (YOU) to help save the day!

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Frodsham, there are a few things you need to know...

Unfortunately, the route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to steep hills and unavoidable steps.

There is one clue in an area where pups are prohibited, so please only bring your tracker dog along if a member of your team can wait with them while you crack the clue.

The closest car park to the Trail start point is at Castle Park House and Gardens (WA6 6SD), where your mission begins, or at Moor Lane pay and display (WA6 7AE), just a 10-minute walk away.

There are some fantastic events in Frodsham’s calendar, including a weekly Thursday market, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning, Clue 17 and the end of the Trail, and the route passes several cafes and snack shops along the way. 

Looking for more things to do in Frodsham? Make a day of it and take a peek inside Castle Park House to learn more twisting tales about Frodsham, or explore its gorgeous gardens.

Mini Secret Agent 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.
