Treasure Trails has compiled a list of its Top Ten Spookiest Trails for fearless families to explore in the run up to Halloween.
With scary storylines featuring ghosts, vampires, witches and wizards the self-guided Trails take you on a ghoulish adventure as you crack the cryptic clues en route to unlock scary stories from the past and solve the mystery at the end.
Treasure Trails cost £6.99 (plus P&P if required), are suitable for groups of up to five and, compared to the average family day out at a theme park or visitor attraction, represent amazing value for money.
They're designed to appeal to anyone with a sense of adventure; from young detectives and budding spies to adults who never grew up.
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 eye-catching features.
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 as well.
There are more than 1,200 themed treasure hunts to choose from across the country with enticing titles including; 'Lion Hunting in Stoke Newington', 'The Lost Bells of Aberdovey', and 'The Tipton Slasher'.
