The Cold Masch Conundrum - Join the Mystery Solvers!
Years ago, the brilliant scientist Bangersson Masch was on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery - the formula for eternal youth! But before he could share his findings with the world, the formula mysteriously vanished, and Masch was found collapsed in his laboratory. Now, the case has stumped the top detectives for years, but with the help of adventurous sleuths like YOU, the truth can finally be uncovered!

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

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route is not suitable for wheelchair users due to unavoidable steps. However, those with light pushchairs should find this manageable.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that there are sections in the busy town, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Hartham Lane (SG14 1QR), just a short walk away from your first clue.
There are some fantastic events in Hertford’s calendar, 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. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Hertford Tourist Information.
There are public toilets available towards the end of the Trail and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. Or, pack a picnic to enjoy at the castle grounds.
Why not make a day of it and take a peek inside Hertford Museum to learn more twisting tales about this lovely town? Or, take a trip just out of the town to explore the glorious open spaces at Panshanger Park.
