With ongoing uncertainty over foreign holidays this summer, the UK tourism industry has received a much-needed shot in the arm, but how are you planning to spend your staycation?

Whether you're heading to a chalet on the coast, camping in a field or enjoying a city break, make sure you factor in an afternoon enjoying a Treasure Trail.

The family-friendly Trails are not reliant on Mediterranean sunshine. Rather than spending two hours cooped up on an aeroplane, you can be out in the fresh air enjoying the sights and sounds of your temporary home's surroundings.

 “Despite the ongoing pandemic, we always look on the bright side and that's why we're focusing on all the things we can do during the Covid-19 outbreak”, said Aaron Hutchens, General Manager of Treasure Trails.

“Our Trails are all outdoors and perfect for a socially distanced adventure, allowing you to get there and explore your local area and beyond.”

Typically around two miles long, the aim of each themed Trail – be it a treasure hunt, spy mission or detective mystery - is to solve clues on a circular route.

There are more than 1,200 available across the UK and include missions in leafy Surrey, the North Yorkshire Moors, the Cornish coast and all points in between.

Costing just £9.99, each guided booklet is a fantastic way to get active with friends or family whilst enjoying the Great British summer and using a bit of your grey matter.

Trails are often close to cafés, shops and restaurants, so adventurers can take their time solving the clues whilst helping to support the local economy.

NOTES FOR EDITORS

Treasure Trails have entertained more than two million people since 2005 and are rated 4.8 out of 5 stars on Ekomi, the independent review site.  Treasure Trails cost £9.99 (plus P&P as required).

Treasure Trails Covid-19 Code of Conduct:

Treasure Trails are ideally suited for everyone to re-discover what's around them in a fun and responsible way. Follow social distancing rules at all times. Be prepared to skip a clue if social distancing is not possible.

• If planning a trail with people outside your household group, make sure you are still following the latest guidelines for England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland on how many other people you can meet up with outdoors.
• Avoid touching any hard surfacessuch as plaques, signs, information boards, gates, walls or benches that clues may be based on.
• Don't lingerfor too long – if you need to, take a photo of a plaque or sign and move to a quieter area.
• Respect others– remember that there are many vulnerable people who still need to self-isolate. While walking, keep a safe distance from residential homes, schools and other premises.
