A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Redruth

The peaceful town of Redruth has been thrown into chaos with the sudden disappearance of renowned local historian, Ruth Scarlett. With no leads and no sign of the culprit, the police have declared it a case of foul play. But what could have driven someone to harm the beloved scholar?

Ruth was on the brink of publishing her life's work - a comprehensive study of the town's history, complete with some scandalous revelations about certain townsfolk. But before she could reveal the secrets, she was found slumped over her writing desk, her final words still unfinished. Rumour has it that a rival antiquarian was planning to publish a book under the pseudonym "Rouge Ruthie". Could this be the motive behind her mysterious disappearance?

Unravel the Mystery in Redruth

Put on your detective hat and join the search for missing evidence in this immersive and family-friendly detective-themed Treasure Trail through Redruth. As you follow the circular route, you'll explore the town's streets and uncover clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

Starting near the railway station, you'll journey through the old mining capital and now popular market town. With a mix of religion and industry, Redruth offers a fascinating backdrop for your adventure.

Can YOU solve the clues scattered around the town and help avenge poor Ruth's premature passing?

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail is set along a route that encounters some steep hills, busy roads and short stretches without pavements. Due to the nature of the terrain, the Trail is unfortunately unsuitable for detectives in wheelchairs.

The car park at the start of the Trail is Fair Meadow Pay and Display.
(What3Words: ///latter.amps.regularly.)

Toilets are encountered along the route at Market Way - but their opening hours are sporadic at best... They usually match regular shop opening hours but we don't recommend relying on them! There are also good opportunities to purchase supplies, refreshments and snacks in the town centre.

As a centre of Cornish heritage and mining culture, Redruth plays host to regular events and parades throughout the year. During these times, access to clues will be restricted. Click here to find out the latest events.

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.
