The Missing Spellbook of Headmistress Wayward
Attention all students of Hecate School of Magic! Professor Homebody has an urgent announcement-Headmistress Professor Wayward has gone missing! Our Secret and Ancient Gnome Expert (SAGE) advisors have informed us that the only way to summon her is by finding her special spellbook. However, deep magic has obscured its hiding spot. We need your help, our brightest pupils, to uncover the whereabouts of the spellbook by following a labyrinth of charms and clues around Watford.

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.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route is not friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to some unavoidable, steep steps during the expedition.
We don't recommend bringing your four-legged friends along as you will be exploring along a busy high street.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Watford Queens (WD17 2UB), just a two-minute walk away.
There are some fantastic events in Watford's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this vibrant 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 Watford's Visitor Information.
There are public toilets available near Clue 14, and the route passes several pubs, cafes and snack shops along the way. There's plenty of green space in the first half of the Trail if you pack supplies for a picnic!
Why not make a day of it and slip in some retail therapy at the Atria Watford centre? Or, head out of town to explore the beautiful Cassiobury Park.
