They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We were a group of 3 generations between 17 and 70ish – you really don't need to have children with you to enjoy these trails.

We've got a mission for you in

Roundhay Park

Roundhay Park's rainometer has gone haywire, causing unexpected downpours and soaking park goers. Local tech geek Grumpy Graham has hacked into the rainometer, setting it to 'make it rain' instead of 'measure rain'. Now, he's left a trail of clues that will lead to the de-activation code for his hack. Spy HQ is seeking skilled agents to solve the clues and save the park from Graham's mischief!

Spy Mission Through Roundhay Park

Join the ranks of top-notch spies as you take on this self-guided spy mission through the popular Roundhay Park in Leeds. Explore enclosed gardens, wide open spaces, lakesides, woodland, and even discover a castle as you follow the Trail route and solve the sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

Agents, this mission is of utmost importance and the park's patrons are counting on YOU to bring the sunshine back. But be careful not to get too soggy on the way!

Do YOU have what it takes to solve the clues, crack the code, and complete the mission just like a true secret agent?

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail cannot be fully completed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day. This is because the Specialist Gardens at the start and finish of this Trail are closed on these days.


Route Info:

The route includes a series of steps and sections across grass, up a steepish grassy hill and along some woodland paths so is not suitable for wheelchair users or most pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchair users willing to negotiate grassy slopes would manage with some slight detours to use alternative paths.

Roundhay Park is a great place for dogs to let off steam! They'll need to be on a lead in the specialist gardens though.

Parking is available for a small charge at car parks at Roundhay Park and there is plenty of free on-street parking if these are full.

There are public toilets in the Tropical World cafe near the start, at the Lakeside Cafe halfway round and in Mansion House towards the end of the Trail. These are marked on the park maps and are all subject to the opening hours of these locations.

There are plentiful scenic picnic opportunities - pack a rug and pick your spot! If you prefer, there are cafes near the start, middle and end of the Trail, as well as a pub near the start / finish point.

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.
