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.

Kenilworth

Legend has it that the very first potato brought back from South America was cooked at Kenilworth Castle and tasted by the first Queen Elizabeth. However, she thought it was so disgusting that she threw the remainder out of the window! But what she didn't know was that this potato was found by alchemist Robin de Riche, who turned it into pure gold and buried it somewhere in Kenilworth. Now, Mr Potato Head, a potato enthusiast from Jersey, wants to find this shining tattie and add it to his potato museum!

But he's not the only one after the golden spud. His sneaky cousins, Bobby Bubble and Sally Squeak, are also searching for it. Join forces with Treasure Trails and help Mr Potato Head track down this gilded prize, making him a chipper chappy!

Starting and finishing at the picturesque Abbey Fields, this Trail will take you through the charming streets and fields of this small historic town.

Along the way, you'll discover the ruins of England's most important lake fortress, the remains of a medieval monastery, and many old timber houses and inns. But keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, leading you closer to the golden potato.

More Information:

Please Note:

Accessibility - Due to a steep climb from the car park up to the first few clues, and one clue set on an island with no dropped kerbs, the route isn't suitable for wheelchairs.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks - The Trail starts in the town and goes into a large park where dogs can be off leads, so roughly 60% is town walking and 40% park walking.

Markets - It may be wise to avoid doing this Trail on market day in Kenilworth as one of the clues is often obscured by market stalls. Market day is currently a Thursday.

Mini Explorer 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.
