Heartlands' Haunting History - A Ghostly Adventure for All Ages
When Mine Captain Ivor Crusty Pasty failed to save the crust from his beloved lunchtime pasty for the ghostly knockers, he didn't expect to meet a similar fate. Now, his slumped body has been found at the bottom of a shallow shaft, and Chief Copper Tin-Digger at HQ needs the help of the best detectives to crack the case. That's where YOU come in!
The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crust
Embark on an exciting self-guided adventure through the historic mining site of Heartlands, where the knockers are said to roam. As you explore the site, you'll come across suspicious clues that will lead you to the truth behind Mine Captain Ivor's demise.
From the old mine shafts to the abandoned buildings, there are plenty of places for the knockers to hide. But with your keen detective skills and a bit of luck, you'll be able to crack the case and uncover the incriminating evidence that will bring the culprit to justice.
Will you be the one to solve the mystery and save all future pasty lovers? The fate of Heartlands is in your hands!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Please Note: UPDATED June 2024.
Sadly, due to escalating costs, at the end of January 2024 the company running Heartlands closed down. That means the Red River Café, Soft Play, Conference Centre and meeting rooms are no longer operating.
Despite this, the Heartlands Treasure Trail can still be completed, as although the businesses around the site are no longer operating, the park, gardens and site as a whole is still open and accessible.
Some of the clues in the later part of the Trail are set around the botanical gardens. The gates to the garden are locked every day at dusk, so please ensure that you leave plenty of time to complete these clues before you set off on your adventure!
Unfortunately, due to narrow pavements and some steps involved to solve one of the clues, this Trail is not deemed wheelchair friendly.
Heartlands is a Dog friendly trail site but please keep dogs on leads.
