We've got a mission for you in
Shepton Mallet
Rogue agent Miss Penny Tentiary has been locked away in the top-secret wing of Shepton Mallet prison. But don't be fooled by its quiet exterior - this prison is home to some of the most notorious criminals in the world. Penny was pressed into custody by the SAS (Spies Around Shepton) after being caught leaving coded dead drop messages in bizarre places (honestly, who hides a cipher in a cider press?). Now, the SAS have uncovered her truly rotten scheme: Penny and her shadowy network plan to unleash a cyberweapon so powerful it could crash banks, erase debts, and wipe out loyalty card points - a true economic apocalypse. This digital doomsday device makes a smartphone look like a stone tablet, but is locked with a code hidden in Penny's messages. With Penny refusing to spill the pips, the SAS needs YOU, their sharpest recruits, to track down her dead drops. Crack the clues, unlock the device, and stop Penny before the world goes pear-shaped. The SAS is counting on you... so core blimey, don't bottle it!

More Information:
Before you set off on your marvellous mission around Shepton Mallet, there are a few things you need to know...
The route is not accessible for wheelchair users as there are grassy areas to cross, some steep climbs and cobbled areas. These should be navigable for sturdy pushchairs/buggies as long as you've got a top secret agent willing to push!
Bring your four-legged friends along! This is a dog-friendly Trail where you'll go through Collett Park where dogs need to remain on a lead at all times.
There are public toilets available in the car park at the start and in Collett Park (Clues 5 & 6) which also has a café (usually open every day). Towards the end of the Trail, you'll pass several pubs, shops and cafes if you find your team is starting to flag.
Looking for more things to do in Shepton Mallet? Make a day of it and visit Shepton Mallet Prison where you can do a tour, escape room, or even spend a night behind bars ghost-hunting! Half way round you'll pass Kilver Court Gardens with its stunning gardens (dogs not allowed), luxury shopping and coffee shop. If you're visiting on a warm day, you could also cool off at the Shepton Mallet Lido which is warmed using recycled heat from the nearby brewery (only open during the warmer months - thankfully!).
Just a few miles from Shepton Mallet is the East Somerset Steam Railway, where you can take a ride on a steam train or just visit the museum, waiting room and ticket office.
