Birds Driven Batty by Bleeping!
The peaceful ecosystem around Tintern Abbey is in grave danger! Rumour has it that the eccentric professor, Dr. Madden Badd, has grown tired of the birdsong and birdwatchers in the area, and has devised a devious plan to get rid of them. Our intelligence suggests that he has hidden high-frequency sound wave devices throughout the village, causing the birds to flee in a panic. This will not only disrupt the tranquillity of the area but also give the mad professor more time to scheme up sinister plots. We can't let that happen!
But, fear not, dear agents - we have a plan. It's up to you, our top secret agents, to discreetly navigate the town, gather intel, and deactivate the devices, bringing back the birds and restoring peace to Tintern. Are you up for the challenge?
Spy Mission Through Tintern Village, River, and Abbey
Attention agents - your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on an exciting self-guided Spy Mission Trail through the charming village of Tintern. As you tiptoe through the town, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden throughout the village, around the abbey, and beside the River Wye. But beware, not all birds may be what they seem - some could be enemy drones in disguise!
The stakes are high, and only the most daring and cunning agents will be able to crack the code and save the day. Good luck!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Tintern (Tyndyrn), there are a few things you need to know...
PLEASE NOTE: This Trail can’t be completed on Mondays or Tuesdays due to the Abbey Mill area being closed. Please attempt this mission on another day.
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to unavoidable steps, uneven terrain and sections across grass.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Tintern Abbey, close to the river (NP16 6TE). This can get very busy in summer, but overflow parking is available. If you’re a Cadw member or pay to visit the Abbey before or after your mission, you can get your parking refunded at the Tintern Abbey entrance.
There are occasionally events held at the Anchor Inn, Abbey Mill and Tintern Abbey. While these shouldn’t stop you from spotting the clues, they could make accessing parking and facilities difficult. Please check for any events before setting off.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several refreshment stops and picnic spots along the way.
Looking for more things to do in Tintern? Make a day of it and visit the Abbey to discover more about this area’s history. Or, combine your mission with the Drive Up Wye Valley detective mystery Trail, which starts just south of Tintern and passes through the village.
