The vibrant and dynamic waterfront city of Portsmouth provides a huge range of amazing places to explore.

There's the Portsmouth Historic Dock Yard home to the UK's finest naval ships, the National Museum of the Royal Navy and the HMS Victory, the ancient Mary Rose, King Henry VIII's flagship vessel and the hustle and bustle of the waterfront home to the Emirates Spinnaker Tower.

The birthplace of Charles Dickens and one-time home of both Arthur Conan Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, Portsmouth has a rich and intriguing history of storytelling.

One great way to uncover the city's hidden secrets and have a lot of family fun at the same time is with a Treasure Trail.

From a Murder Mystery Trail around the cobbled streets of Old Portsmouth to a Spy Mission Trail at Gosport there's loads to choose from across the city.

Designed for ages from six to 106, there are a number of Treasure Trails to choose from in Portsmouth including 'Gosport' and 'Portsmouth Spice Island Press Gangs'.

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.
