The elegant spa town of Harrogate, it's surrounding historic market towns and stunning countryside in the heart of Yorkshire provides a huge range of amazing places to explore.

There's idyllic villages like Pately Bridge, Knaresborough and Masham, the historic market town of Ripon and its cathedral and the sophisticated elegance of the spa resort Harrogate with the Montpelier Quarter and the Royal Pump Room Museum.

A great way to uncover the hidden secrets of all these locations and have a lot of fun at the same time is with a Treasure Trail.

From a Murder Mystery Trail in Harrogate to a Treasure Hunt on the nearby Yorkshire Dales there's a host of self-guided adventures to discover across the region.

Designed for ages from six to 106, there are no fewer than 51 Trails to choose from across Harrogate and North Yorkshire with enticing titles like 'Goathland – Legend of Gytrash', 'North Yorkshire Moors Railway Trails', 'Ripon Hunt for the Missing Horns' and 'Herricot Country – Kilburn White Horse'.

The 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.

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 from Treasure Trails' website (www.treasuretrails.co.uk) and printed immediately, or sent in the post.

As well as providing a fun way to explore a new area, the Trails also offer the chance to see an area you thought you knew well in a totally different way.
