The Disappearing City - Can YOU Save York Before It Shrinks?
The peaceful city of York is under threat from the evil Baron Ivor Grudge. With a miniaturising device hidden within the walls of Clifford's Tower, the city's historic buildings and its citizens are at risk of being shrunk to the size of ants. It's up to you to deactivate the device and save York from this small-scale disaster!
Spy Mission Through York
Grab your family and friends and get ready for an exciting self-guided Spy Mission Trail through the charming city of York. Starting at the iconic Clifford's Tower, you'll journey through the city's historic walls, past the scenic River Ouse, and into the lively shopping streets before reaching the grand finale at Tower Gardens.
As you follow the Trail, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Can you solve the clues and complete the mission, just like a true secret agent?
The fate of York is in your hands… Are YOU up to the task?

Please Note:
After heavy periods of rain, the river can sometimes overspill causing a flood, making the final clues inaccessible.
The stunning city of York attracts thousands of visitors each year. Whether you follow this Trail as a local or a sightseer, it will become obvious why such high numbers flock to the destination and highlight why it remains so popular.
With hordes of activities along the Trail, you will be hard pushed to resist the urge to deviate, if only for some well earned refreshments!
This exciting Spy Walking Trail is city centre based but rest assured you will be surprised and delighted along the route. Set mostly on flat footpaths, normal walking shoes will suffice. The two mile, two hour Trail should not pose any difficulties for pushchairs.
