The Legend of Woody Turner's Treasure - A Self-Guided Adventure!
In the charming village of Staveley, the legend of Woody Turner and his hidden treasure has captivated the locals for centuries. As one of the most skilled woodworkers of his time, Woody was known for his signature carved red squirrel hidden on each of his pieces. But it's his rumoured masterpiece, a chair that holds the key to his fortune, that has always remained elusive.
Until now.
During recent renovations at Woody's old workshop, a map was discovered hidden within the walls. Could this be the key to finding the long-lost treasure? Overseas dealer Anne Teak is already hot on the trail, but with your sharp wit and keen eye for detail, you just might beat her to the chair and claim the treasure for yourself.
Chisel Away To Turn Up Woody's Treasure!
Get ready for an immersive and family-friendly self-guided adventure through the charming village of Staveley. Starting at the Mill Yard car park, you'll embark on a riverside walk before making your way to St James Church, the Eagle and Child pub, and St Margaret's Tower, solving sneaky clues along the way.

Before You Set Off
Please Note:
This Trail follows paths and pavements and is suitable for pushchairs.
Whilst the riverside path is fully accessible, narrow pavements and lanes without footpaths, plus two steps up to the churchyard mean that the route has been marked as unsuitable for wheelchair users. However, it would be possible for some to navigate using the main church path in and out of the churchyard, should the narrow pavements and lanes not pose a problem.
There are public toilets near to the halfway point of the Trail, which, due to the nature if the route, is also not far from the start.
There are a handful of pubs and local businesses offering food and refreshment along the route.
