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.

A trail of clues awaits in

Middleham

A shocking discovery has been made in the picturesque market town of Middleham - the golden trophy of King Richard III has vanished from the stables of Willie Jumpit! But this is no ordinary case of theft, as a set of clues and a map were found in its place. Is this a simple case of foal play or is someone playing a grand game of horse and hound?

As the locals whisper of Willie's possible involvement, he has turned to the Noble Equine Investigative Group Headquarters (NEIGH) for help. Now, it's up to YOU to saddle up and embark on a thrilling quest to locate the stolen trophy and clear Willie's name.

Treasure Hunt Through Middleham - King Richard III's Town

Grab your map and prepare for a fun and immersive self-guided treasure hunt through the picturesque town of Middleham, the childhood home of the legendary King Richard III. As you explore the charming streets and historic buildings, keep your eyes peeled for cleverly hidden clues and rival explorers also on the hunt for the trophy.

But beware, this is no time for horsing around - crack the clues, follow the trail, and be the first to reach the finishing post to prove Willie's innocence and claim the treasure for yourself!

Are you ready for a royal adventure in Middleham? The hunt is on!

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

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to terrain (cobbles, etc.) and stretches without pavements. 

Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route. 

The closest parking to the Trail start point is at Market Place (DL8 4NP), with on-street parking available near Key Centre (DL8 4RA) if market Place is busy.

There are some fantastic events in Middleham’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for events before setting off on your adventure.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning and before Clue 13 – you’ll need to bring change to use them. There’s a snack shop and refreshment stops in the town centre after Clue 02. 

Looking for more things to do in Middleham? Make a day of it and take a peek inside Middleham Castle or head a couple of miles out of town for more curious adventures at Forbidden Corner.

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.
