The Ripon Horn Heist - Can YOU Outsmart Ms Anne Teak?

Ripon, a quaint city known for its beautiful gardens and winding river, has been struck by a notorious relic robber. Ms Anne Teak, a cunning thief, has pulled off the perfect heist, replacing all four of Ripon's valuable ceremonial horns with worthless replicas. But her plan has been foiled, as one of the imitation horns let out a high-pitched squeak, exposing the ruse. The Hornblower, left embarrassed and huffing and puffing, has discovered a treasure map with clues scribbled on the reverse. Can YOU follow the trail and unearth the original treasured horns?

Adventure Through the City, River, and Gardens of Ripon

Embark on an exciting self-guided adventure through the charming city of Ripon, its tranquil river, and lush gardens. As you journey through the city, you'll encounter cleverly hidden clues in historic buildings, permanent features, and scenic locations.

Starting at Ripon Cathedral, the heart of the city, you'll follow the trail through the winding streets, past the beautiful Spa Gardens, and along the tranquil River Skell. But be on the lookout-Ms Teak is known for her cunning ways and only the most intrepid explorers will be able to outsmart her and uncover the truth.

The city awaits… Will YOU be the one to solve the mystery and recover the stolen horns?

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Please Note:

The Trail route follows pavements, paths and a riverside path, with some steps, cobbles and narrow pavements.

There are public toilets near the start, in the park in the middle and at the end of the Trail.

There is a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes, mostly towards the end of the Trail route.

The Trail route passes all three Ripon Museums sites as well as the cathedral so allow plenty of time on your parking ticket if you plan to visit these too.
