The Curious Case of the Canal Kerfuffle

Oh dear, it seems there's been a bit of a commotion on the canal in Bingley! Last week, the local lock-keeper Towpath Tony discovered poor Marsha Banks lifeless in the water. At first, the police thought it was a tragic accident-perhaps she got tangled in an anchor and fell from her barge. But now, they've found evidence of a scuffle near the moorings. It's up to YOU to follow the trail and solve this curious case!

Treasure Hunt Along the Canalside

Looking for a fun and family-friendly activity in Bingley? Then why not grab your friends and family and head out on this self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail! As you follow the route, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Can YOU solve the case and discover whodunit?

The adventure begins and ends at the train station, taking you on a journey through Bingley's historical areas, Myrtle Park, and the picturesque riverside. From there, you'll continue your investigations along the canal, passing by the iconic Three Rise and Five Rise locks before venturing onto intriguing paths through Prince of Wales Park.
