More Information:
Please Note:
This Trail explores the picturesque town of Holmfirth, home of TV show Last of the Summer Wine. The Trail mainly follows pavements and country lanes but is very steep in places, with a few steps along the way making it unsuitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.
There are busy roads, some with no pavements, and also a few steep hills that can get quite slippery when wet so please take care at all times. Also, due to the nature of the town, the route is set out in a figure of eight, so you may see some places more than once!
There are plenty of opportunities for refreshments around the town, as well reliving those Last of the Summer Wine memories by popping into Sid's Cafe for a pot of tea and maybe some Summer Wine souvenirs! There is also a park with a children's playground and a memorial garden at the end of the Trail, so chance for a picnic as well.
Public conveniences are situated near the bus station and post office area, which is near the middle and end of the Trail.
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.
