The Tale of the Cock and The Bull - A Treasure Hunt in Stony Stratford

Set on the historic Roman road of Watling Street, the quaint town of Stony Stratford has been a popular stop for travelling monarchs, military personnel, and even highwaymen. Along the way, many inns opened their doors to cater to weary travellers, including The Cock and The Bull. Legend has it that in the late 17th century, wealthy landowner Ivor Lott was robbed of a chest of gold bars while staying at one of these inns on his way to London. But with the inns being notorious for tall tales, no one believed his story. Now, it's up to YOU to prove Ivor's innocence and uncover the truth by following the Clues and locating the missing treasure. But be warned, a gang of greedy looters known as the Gold Diggers will stop at nothing to get their hands on Ivor Lott's fortune first!
