A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Wye Valley

The idyllic Wye Valley was once a bustling hub for timber trade, with ships sailing up and down the river, delivering their precious cargo to faraway destinations. But on one fateful journey, the crew aboard the Slipper Seadog were left in shock when they found their captain, Shiva Metimbas, slumped on the riverbank at low tide.

At first, the Wye Valley police believed it to be an accident caused by the rough rapids. But when ship hand Manny Overboard blurted out his suspicions, they were forced to consider foul play. Just hours before Captain Shiva was found, a heated argument had broken out among the crew over their pay, and almost all of them were sacked!

Now, DI Ima Solvit is facing a daunting task-she must sift through a lengthy list of suspects, all with a motive for harming the captain. With her hands tied, she's turning to TOP Detectives for help in cracking the case and revealing the true culprit.

Please Note:

There are toilets in Tintern that you pass along the way, although there is a pay and display car park there if you want to use them!

Refreshments can be found at the start of the Trail at the Piercefield Hotel or there is a small shop in St Arvans where you could pick up a limited picnic.

At the end of the Trail there is a pub called The Boat Inn which has a large garden and can be accessed by footbridge from the car park.

There is the opportunity for a lovely walk in woodlands about three quarters of the way through the Trail at Cadora Woods.

Mini Detective Club

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.
