What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Stratford-upon-Avon, there are a few things you need to know…

The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy town centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

There is plenty of parking near the start of the Trail (Stratford Butterfly Farm, Swan’s Nest Lane). Or why not try Stratford-upon-Avon’s Park and Ride service?

There are some fantastic events in Stratford-upon-Avon’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 become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for any events before setting off.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning, middle, and end of the Trail, and the route passes several cafes along the way.
