A trail of clues awaits in

Wrexham

Wrexham's head librarian, Paige Turner, was shocked when she discovered a faded, tatty document while doing some research into the city's mining roots. The document alleges that along with the coal mines in the area, there used to be a fabulous diamond mine too! Alas, the exact location of this mine has been lost in time, despite many searching for its hidden treasures.

Luckily, the document that Paige discovered contains a map and a series of clues around the town as to the whereabouts of the legendary mine! Paige much prefers adventure books to actual quests, so she's tasked the Exploration Society with tracking down the treasures. Can YOU - our TOP explorers - follow the route, crack these clues and pinpoint the cache of missing diamonds?
