Rediscover the lost magic of an old-fashioned family day out this May Half Term (26th May – 3rd June) with Treasure Trails. Get the whole family outdoors together and explore one of over 1,200 locations throughout the UK.

Follow a self-guided Treasure Trail through the winding backstreets and hidden corners of villages, towns and cities around the country. Crack the clues along the route to unlock incredible stories from the past and solve the mystery at the end.

Lasting around two hours, the aim is to solve clues on a circular route of approximately two miles incorporating plaques, signs, statues, monuments, images, engravings or any other unique or quirky features found in the area.

They can be downloaded direct from the Treasure Trails website and printed immediately or sent in the post; personalised versions are also available online which can include your own photographs and text.

In London alone there are 41 different Trails to choose from with enticing titles like 'The Missing Royal Wedding Ring Trail' in St James' Park, 'The Muswell Hill Menagerie Murder' and 'Lion Hunting in Stoke Newington'.

“Treasure Trails create memorable, shared experiences for people of all ages. Each Trail is different but they all offer a fun way to collectively get to know a new area or provide new perspectives on places you thought you knew well,” said Treasure Trails' Sam Willsher.

“We devise the clues to appeal to everyone so some are relatively easy while others are more challenging and the occasional one or two may even verge on the fiendish,” he added.

There's a, rarely-used, SMS 'Stuck on a Clue' helpline to ensure no Trail ever goes unsolved and there's also a chance to win £100 if you enter the answer to your Trail online where you can also download free certificates.

Around 85 per cent of the Trails are walking versions but there are also Cycling and Driving Trails available.

There are more than 1,200 themed treasure hunts to choose from across the country with enticing titles including 'Whitby – Curse of the Vampire', 'The Lost Bells of Aberdovey', 'Pendle Witches' and 'The Tipton Slasher'.
