Selby - Historic Town & Abbey

The Missing Red Diamonds of Selby Abbey

Evil villain, Baron Ivor Grudge, believes that there is a seam of rare red diamonds deep beneath Selby Abbey, and in a desperate bid to get his greedy mitts on these beauties, he has planted a device to rid Selby of its Abbey. He then plans to sink a deep shaft and mine the diamonds. To prevent the destruction of a historical 'Yorkshire gem', and the beautiful landscape of the centre of Selby, we need you to reveal the code to deactivate the ticking device!! Luckily, we have a mole amongst his staff who has scattered Clues to the deactivation code. HQ needs you, our best SUPER SPIES, to get your hands on the code and put a halt to this dastardly plan! Beware, the Baron has sent a couple of his henchmen to Selby to make sure no one thwarts his plan.
