Mr Laurence Gin, a curator of fine arts, takes great pride in his growing collection of miniature busts, crafted from the finest Wirksworth marble. But when he stashed away his latest acquisition for safekeeping, he never could have imagined the chaos that would ensue. Now, with the help of the Exploration Society, he's calling on the most daring adventurers to help him recover his missing pieces before it's too late!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Most of the route follows paths and roadways, but there are some steep sections to negotiate along the way. Sadly this makes the Trail unsuitable for any adventurers who use wheels. 

Some areas might also be quite muddy at times, so good explorer footwear is recommended.
