We've got a mission for you in

Bristol Clifton

Help! The BRATS (a Brigade of the infamous Red Army of Trained Spies) have arrived in Bristol and are plotting to disrupt business in the city. They have recruited the deranged entomologist, Dr Mike Robe, who has planted a device containing millions of wood boring weevils which, when released, will attack the wooden deck of Clifton Suspension Bridge rendering it unsafe for cars to enter the city. We need you to work with our own James Pond, head of the Bristol Intelligence Agency (BIA), to find the deactivation code for the device and save one of the finest bridges in the world as well as the city's economy. The BRATS are demanding a ransom or the device will be set off; they'll try and stop your mission by any means necessary… Good luck Agents!

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Clifton, there are a few things you need to know...

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs. This is due to a large number of steps throughout the Trail.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy area, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at West End (BS8 1EH), a 15-minute walk away. Or why not try Bristol’s fantastic Park and Ride service?

There are some fantastic events in Bristol’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.

There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, and the route passes a few places to eat along the way, or you can bring a picnic.

Looking for more things to do near Clifton? Make a day of it and visit Bristol Aquarium to meet some fishy friends or Bristol Museum and Art Gallery to learn more twisting tales about the city. You could even challenge yourself to one of our other Bristol Trails!

Mini Secret Agent 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.
