The Ghosts of Chester - A Family-Friendly Mystery Adventure
For over 250 years, the restless ghosts of Chester have been causing chaos throughout the city. Their clanking, moaning, and groaning have been a nuisance to the locals, all because the mysterious murder of one of their own, Poll De-Gyste, remains unsolved.
But now, Chief Inspector M. T. Tomb is on the case and needs your help to bring peace to the restless spirits. Are YOU brave enough to join the investigation and solve the mystery of Poll's demise?
Explore the Haunted Walls and Centre of Chester
Calling all super sleuths! This spooky self-guided detective mystery will take you on a thrilling adventure through the city centre of Chester. Beginning at the magnificent cathedral, you'll make your way past the Roman Walls, Amphitheatre, and along the riverside.
But beware, some of the ghosts are not ready to rest in peace and may try to interfere with your investigation. Keep your eyes and ears open as you uncover clues to solve the cold case once and for all.
Are YOU ready to show off your detective skills and bring peace to the restless ghosts of Chester?

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Chester, there are a few things you need to know...
Occasionally, sections of the walls may need to be closed off for maintenance. We do our very best to keep abreast of such work but please ask you to follow any diversions or instructions that such work may cause.
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to steep steps, cobbles, and hills all included in the Trail.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is New Market Parking (CH1 2AR), just a few minutes walk away. Or why not try Chester’s Park and Ride service?
There are some fantastic events in Chester’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. Please check for any events before setting off.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail (in the cathedral - entrance fee applies), as well as at Clue 08, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.
Looking for more things to do in Chester? Make a day of it and visit Chester Zoo to make some furry friends, or head to Grosvenor Museum to learn more twisting tales about the city. You could even challenge yourself to our Chester - City Walls Trail and let out your inner treasure seeker!
