Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
This route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy town centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
There are many (pretty expensive!) places to park along the seafront in Brighton that are close to the start point of the Trail. However, a cheaper long stay pay and display car park that's a 14 minute walk away from the Trail start point is the Green car park at Churchill Square Shopping Centre, (BN1 2FB). Alternatively, Brighton has a great park and ride service operating from Withdean Sports Complex.
There are some fantastic events in Brighton's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Brighton Visitor Information.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. The Pavilion Gardens make a great picnic spot if the weather is nice!
Why not make a day of it and visit the Royal Pavilion or Brighton's Museum for a cultural and historical fix? You could even try one of our other Brighton Trails if you're seeking another adventure!
Mini Detective Club
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.
