Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Masham

Farmer Lester Herdwick was known as the black sheep of his family, but he was as gentle as a lamb. That is until he was found blue-faced during the local sheep shearing contest. The police are baffled, and Detective Chief Inspector Ram Shackle fears there could be a wolf in sheep's clothing ready to strike again. With no leads, they're hoping for some top detectives to come to the rescue.

More Information:

Please Note:

The Trail route includes some grassy footpaths, a field, a series of steps, some cobbles and three gates making it unsuitable for wheelchair or pushchair users.

The grassy footpath and field may be muddy so suitable footwear is recommended.

There is a good selection of pubs and cafes for refreshments in Masham.

The route passes two brewery visitor centres - the Theakston Brewery and the Black Sheep Brewery. Both offer tours - booking is advisable.

There are public toilets near the market square at the start / finish and middle of the Trail.

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.
