The Mystery of the Magical Elixir - Uncover the Secret of Jesus College

For centuries, historians have been baffled by the mysterious name of Jesus College and nearby Jesus Green. But recent discoveries at the college have revealed a long-lost secret that may hold the answer. According to legend, an eccentric professor named Levy Tait created a magical elixir that could make you walk on water. Could this be the source of the Jesus connection?

But the professor was wise enough to bury his creation, fearing that mischievous students would misuse it. Now, a treasure map and a series of clues have been passed down to the Intrepid Explorers Society. Will YOU be brave enough to take on this adventure and uncover the truth?

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Cambridge, there are a few things you need to know...

This Trail is part of a set that covers Cambridge. You can see which area each Trail covers by clicking this link and downloading the Trail territory PDF.

Unfortunately, the route is not marked as friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to unavoidable steps, narrow pathways and areas of rough terrain.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Castle Hill (CB3 0AT), just a two-minute walk away. Or why not try Cambridge’s fantastic Park and Ride service?

There are some fantastic events in Cambridge’s calendar, all of which are fantastic times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your quest.

There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, near Clues 07 and 14. The route passes several pubs and a snack shop along the way. Pack a picnic to enjoy at Jesus Green after Clue 07.
