We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Tintern (Tyndyrn), there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail can’t be completed on Mondays or Tuesdays due to the Abbey Mill area being closed. Please attempt this mission on another day.
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to unavoidable steps, uneven terrain and sections across grass.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Tintern Abbey, close to the river (NP16 6TE). This can get very busy in summer, but overflow parking is available. If you’re a Cadw member or pay to visit the Abbey before or after your mission, you can get your parking refunded at the Tintern Abbey entrance.
There are occasionally events held at the Anchor Inn, Abbey Mill and Tintern Abbey. While these shouldn’t stop you from spotting the clues, they could make accessing parking and facilities difficult. Please check for any events before setting off.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several refreshment stops and picnic spots along the way.
Looking for more things to do in Tintern? Make a day of it and visit the Abbey to discover more about this area’s history. Or, combine your mission with the Drive Up Wye Valley detective mystery Trail, which starts just south of Tintern and passes through the village.
