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.

A trail of clues awaits in

Highgate

Highgate Cemetery is home to a unique book club - one where the members are all ghostly residents! Every month, they gather to read stories from an ancient tome known as 'The Book'. But when the book mysteriously disappears, it's up to YOU to help recover it and save the future of the ghostly residents.

Ghostly Treasure Hunt Through Highgate

Join The Exploration Society on an exciting self-guided treasure hunt through the streets of Highgate. As you follow the circular route from Archway station, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all leading to the location of the buried treasure.

From leafy residential streets to the famous cemetery and Highgate Village, this trail will take you on a journey through the historic and scenic areas of Highgate. But beware - our mischievous ghostly pal Dick Whittington has left a riddling set of clues to throw you off track. Only the most daring treasure seekers will be able to crack the code and find the missing book.

Will YOU accept the challenge and help save the ghostly residents of Highgate Cemetery?
