The Long Lost Love Spoon - A Family Adventure at Weston Park
Calling all families, friends, and treasure seekers! Are you looking for a fun day out in Weston Park? Look no further than this self-guided treasure hunt themed Trail. As you follow the route, you will unravel sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all leading you to the location of a long lost treasure.
A Spoonful of Love - An Adventure Through Weston Park
It's 1766 in Weston Park, and the newest and youngest labourer, Daffydd Jenkins, is feeling lonely and homesick. But when he meets Eliza Potts, the new scullery maid at the house, they quickly become friends. Their friendship soon turns into a secret love, and before the labourers move on, Daffydd carves a love spoon for Eliza and hides it at their secret meeting place. Unfortunately, Eliza never had the chance to retrieve the love token, and over the past 250 years, many have tried and failed to decipher her scribblings and discover the spoon. Will you, our ace treasure seekers, be the ones to succeed and reveal a memory of a long ago love?
Prepare for an adventure through the amazing 1,000 acre Weston Park estate, with its Capability Brown designed landscaped gardens and various facilities. As you explore, keep your eyes peeled for clues, solve puzzles, and work together as a team to find the long lost love spoon.
Remember, family-friendly adventure awaits you, but don't get too distracted from your core quest of finding Daffydd and Eliza's love spoon. So, gather your loved ones, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure at Weston Park.

Navigating The Route
This is a circular Treasure Hunt through Weston Park’s estate, gardens and woodland areas, with explorers following paths and trails as they track down the hidden love spoon.
The route includes grassy sections, woodland paths, slopes and natural terrain, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. Take care on uneven ground, near water and along steeper sections as you explore. Some paths may be muddy after heavy rain.
Getting There
Park at Weston Park Visitor Parking (TF11 8LE) - Your expedition base, with your quest beginning near The Granary building.
⚠️ Important: An entry fee is required to access the estate and complete this Trail. Also, access may be restricted during events or seasonal closures, so it’s best to check ahead before setting off.
Need the Loo?
Even the boldest adventurers need a quick pit stop! Toilets are available within the estate grounds, near visitor facilities.
