Treasure Trails

About

Treasure Trails turn an everyday walk into a fabulous day out for the whole family. As you commence your self-guided Wiltshire walk, you’ll become immersed in an imaginative tale that twists and turns through a series of crafty clues to crack. Whether you’re 6 or 106, you’ll savour the chance to conquer your mission together while exploring heaps of Wiltshire landmarks along the way. What more do you need for a great day out?

A Treasure Trail is at the top of the list of fun things to do in Wiltshire, with 19 awesome Trails for you and your detective squad to choose from. With endless and unspoiled Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historical villages and a city in the countryside, this largely rural county is a walker’s paradise.

Trails cost £9.99 for one booklet, which can be used by up to five people, and are available as a PDF download or printed and posted (p&p charges apply). Depending on the location you choose to explore, you’ll either be investigating evidence on a detective mystery, hunting down lost loot on a treasure hunt or cracking the code on a spy mission. Popular Wiltshire Trail locations include Avebury, Bradford On Avon, Chippenham, Lacock, Malmesbury, Marlborough, Mere, Royal Wootton Bassett and Salisbury.

Intrepid explorers are needed to track down a secret stash of crown jewels near Devizes castle – are you and your mini treasure-seekers up for the challenge? Perhaps you have more of an eye for a spy mission in Lacock? There’s a rookie secret agent who needs rescuing, and a team of super spies is required to secure him before things get hairy! Meanwhile, in the shadows of Salisbury Cathedral, an ex-toy-minator is at large, and they’re threatening to ruin all the toys! There’s no time for games – we need you to play detective and identify this fun-zapping scoundrel! Case closed? There are two more tempting Trails to discover around the city!

All you need for your self-guided walk is your courageous band of agents and a zest for adventure. We are experts in curating the best days out and know how to create twisting Trails to ignite imaginations and make treasured memories for years to come. Discover Wiltshire’s hidden gems and turn the miles into smiles. Where will you begin your Trail journey?

Accessibility

Trails take place in and around towns and villages with associated limitations. Each Trail is marked with our recommendation of accessibility, both for wheelchair users and pushchairs, and you can filter Trails by accessibility before choosing the place you want to explore.

Catering

Most Trails take you close to refreshment stops along the route. Advice is given in each Trail booklet on places to stop for food and drink, the location of public toilets and picnic suggestions if applicable.

Children & Infants

Our Trails can be enjoyed by those aged 6 to 106; however, they are designed for the whole family to work together, so younger Trailers will need assistance on some clues. Our Mini Explorers clubs can be used to keep the littlest adventurers entertained
