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 to explore Wimbledon, there are a few things you need to know…
The route is friendly for wheelchair users.
This Trail is suitable for dogs, but there are dog restrictions in the churchyard, so please only bring your four-legged friends along if a member of your squad can wait with them here. The second half of the Trail is next to Wimbledon Common.
The closest long stay (max. five hours) parking to the Trail start point is along Peek Crescent (SW19 5ER, charges apply), just a three-minute walk away. Alternatively, Wimbledon Train Station, Underground Station (District Line) and Tramlink stop are all a 15-minute walk away.
There are some fantastic events in Wimbledon’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. The area will also be much busier during the Wimbledon tennis championships. It’s always best to check for known road closures and events ahead of travel.
There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, at Cannizaro Park, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.
Looking for more things to do in Wimbledon? Make a day of it and visit the Wimbledon Museum, Lawn Tennis Museum or the Windmill Museum to learn more twisting tales about the area. Or, if you fancy another challenge, hop on the tube into the city to try one of our London Trails!
