Dough or Die: The Wonder Bun Whodunnit!
In the 1800s, Warwick baker Betty Bakewell created the Wonder Bun, a treat so irresistible it was the talk of the Midlands. But when a rival baker from Leamington Spa stole her recipe, the towns became locked in a feud. Fast forward to today, and Warwick is holding the annual 'Great Bun Off' contest with a Wonder Bun shaped trophy. Just as baking got underway, the trophy vanished in a cloud of flour and mystery. DCI Chris P. Crust, known for his buttery smooth interrogation style, was called in. As he was inspecting the crime scone… err… we mean scene, he found a crumbly clue - a scrap of paper that suspiciously looked like the Wonder Bun recipe! Is someone baking up a plot to try and revive the rivalry between the towns? With a cast of flaky suspects the case is getting stickier by the hour. DCI Crust wants YOU to sift through the clues, separate the wheat from the chaff, and stop the crook before they pull the dough over everyone's eyes!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your magnificent mystery around Warwick, there are a few things you need to know…
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to quite a few uneven and narrow pavements and also some unavoidable steps.
There is a cafe, toilets and playground available in St. Nicholas Park which is next to the car park at the start of the Trail. There are also more public toilets halfway round the Trail in Market Place. The route also passes several great cafes, bars, and shops along the way.
