We've got a mission for you in

Northwich

Northwich is in grave danger! The treacherous Rhona Mock has hatched a cunning plot to sabotage the town's most iconic industrial landmark - the Swing Bridge. With a devious device planted in the bridge's mechanism, it's only a matter of time before it's filled with industrial-strength glue and rendered useless. But YOU, secret agents, are our only hope. Can you follow the Trail, solve the clues and stop Rhona's fiendish plan in time?

Spy Mission Through Northwich - Rivers & Viaduct

This Trail is marked as not pushchair accessible as the route crosses several lock gates that can be very narrow.

Mini Secret Agent 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.
