We've got a mission for you in

Shipston-on-Stour

It's long been known that smugglers would operate along the River Stour in the 18th-century. Local legend claimed that one notorious gang, the Sheep Dippers, would sneak onto the shore at Shipston on Stour and secretly stash their loot in the village. But now, an even greater threat looms over the town.

We've received worrying intel that the evil Professor Ramsey intends to steal the hoard to fund his sinister (and slightly silly) scheme-training his gigantic herd of sheep to knit woolly jumpers, which he can sell to fund even more dastardly plots! And he's not using a map and spade like a normal treasure hunter, oh no. He's using a massive coin detector, which will sweep over the town and suck all cash into the air!

We need help from TOP Agents (EWE!) to sneak around the town, crack the code to deactivate the detector, and save the day! Are YOU ready for this thrilling spy mission?

Stitch Up the Sinister Scheme - Spy Mission in Shipston-on-Stour

Get ready for a fun-filled day out with family and friends in Shipston-on-Stour on this self-guided spy mission themed Treasure Trail. As you follow the Trail route, can you solve the sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to crack the code and complete the mission just like a true secret agent?

Explore the very heart of this historic market town nestled in the North of the Cotswolds and discover its fascinating historical past as you solve the clues in this idyllic rural location. But be warned-Professor Ramsey's coin detector is no joke, and only the most cunning agents will be able to outsmart his scheme!

Are YOU ready to save the day and stop Professor Ramsey's sinister scheme?
