The Treacherous Swing Bridge - Rhona's Fiendish Plan!

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?

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Please Note:

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

Northwich plays host to monthly Artisan Markets, as well as an annual Pina Colada festival, which is usually held during August. This means that the route of the Trail may be disrupted during these events. For full details of the Pina Colada festival (and explanation!), click here.
