This detective mystery Walking Trail is around 2 miles in length and will last about 2 hours. It is suitable for pushchairs but not wheelchairs. Please note, you will need to cross a short section of grassed area in Hall Garth Park. Therefore, suitable footwear will be necessary in bad weather and pushchair users may require assistance to cross any muddy patches.

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.
