Falmouth Fiasco - Stop the Oyster-Thieving Plot!
Aww, shucks! The famous Falmouth Oyster Festival is in danger of becoming a real shell of its former self. A group of sneaky agents, disguised as fishermen, have set their sights on the event, led by the notorious scientist, Mary Thyme. She claims she needs the oysters for "scientific research," but we all know she's just planning to enjoy them for her own gourmet pleasure. With the festival just around the corner, the locals are in a frenzy to prepare, but the agents have struck first and stolen all the oysters, keeping them hidden at a secret location. Thankfully, we have an insider who has pinpointed the hiding spot, but there's a catch - the mole is stuck on a secret lock combination. We need your help, top Super Spies, to crack the code, recover the oysters, and foil Mary Thyme's buttery plans. We can't let these fishy agents turn the festival into a clammy disaster. Are you ready to take on this exciting mission and save the day?

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Falmouth (Aberfala), there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail has not been marked as accessible for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to some steep hills, uneven surfaces and sections without pavements along the route.
Why not bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that the town centre can get very busy, so please keep your dog on a lead throughout the Trail.
The closest pay and display car park to this Trail's start point is the Maritime car park (maximum stay 4 hours, TR11 4BS) or The Dell long stay (JustPark location ID: 8333) is a short walk away (TR11 4AZ). Use this car park if you plan to explore the location further once the mission is complete. If you fancy making the whole day a real adventure, why not try the Park and; Float/Ride which is available in the summer months with regular sailings from Ponsharden car park (TR11 2SE) into the town centre.
There are some fantastic events in Falmouth's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful maritime town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions, so please plan ahead before travelling.
There are public toilets available close to the start of the Trail, at Clue 12 (until 5pm) and around Clues 13-14. There are plenty of opportunities for refreshments along the early part of the Trail and also from Clue 09 onwards as well.
Looking for more things to do in Falmouth? Make a day of it and visit the National Maritime Museum, or the nearby Pendennis Castle. Or you could just browse the many varied shops in the town centre, take in the scenery and enjoy the view across the river Fal with an ice cream in hand.
