A trail of clues awaits in

Scunthorpe

The town of Scunthorpe is in a frenzy as the iconic steel statue of their greatest football striker, Indy Gole, has mysteriously disappeared from its spot in the town centre. Rumours are swirling that Blaize Itover, the current centre forward for Scunthorpe United, may be behind the theft due to his jealousy over Indy's unbeatable scoring record. But new evidence has emerged, pointing to the original sculptor of the statue, Artie Moulding, as the culprit. It seems that Artie hid the statue as part of a treasure hunt challenge, with Indy's boots being made of solid gold! Adventurers from all around are now racing to find the shiny shoes, but you'll have to be quick and clever to beat the competition.

Please Note:

This Trail is along a mostly urban route and is Dog friendly trail, though we do recommend keeping your four-legged friend on leads as you explore.

The first 2 hours of parking at the suggested car park (West Street, Scunthorpe, DN15 6HX) are free but allow for extra time to explore any museums, shopping areas or to enjoy any refreshments once you have discovered the location of the statue with the golden boots.

Mini Explorer 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.
