More Information:

Your case will see you using your Squad car to drive between different crime-scenes - and then exploring these destinations on foot, all along the breath-taking North Devon Coast.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to pay to park at some of these destinations and there is also a TOLL ROAD at one section, so bring loose change / and or a payment card, as mobile signal can be patchy at times.

Due to the nature of the area, some of the lanes you will be driving along are VERY STEEP and VERY NARROW, so please take GREAT CARE when driving along them. The rewards are some stunning views!

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.
