Top secret!

We've got a mission for you in

Kimbolton

Uncover the delicious secret that has been hidden away for centuries in the Royal Estate and Town of Kimbolton. Legend has it that Catherine of Aragon, the former Queen, created the first milk chocolate recipe, but her husband, Henry VIII, only liked dark chocolate. Enraged by his refusal to indulge in her creation, Catherine was banished to Kimbolton Castle, where she secretly recorded the recipe.

Now, it's up to you, our top agents, to follow the clues and crack the code to unlock the lost recipe. But beware of the chocolate-loving enemies who will do anything to keep this secret hidden!

Treasure Hunt Through Kimbolton

Embark on an immersive self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming town of Kimbolton, perfect for a day out with family and friends. As you follow the trail, you'll discover sneaky clues hidden in historic buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while exploring the former market town and its designated conservation area.

Your adventure begins at the Royal Estate and Town of Kimbolton, where you'll unravel the mystery and uncover the lockbox containing Catherine's coveted recipe.

Join the mission and be the one to unlock the lost recipe of Kimbolton Castle!
