Kenilworth - Old Town & Abbey Fields

Track Down the Legendary Golden Potato!

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.

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!
