Treasure Trails are a fantastic way to explore and make discoveries whilst enjoying a family walk in the fresh air.

You’ll love working together to find and solve the clues – some are easy to find, some are a little bit trickier! You can choose to solve a mystery, go on a treasure hunt or crack the code to save the world on a spy mission. All our Trails are self-guided, you can do them whenever you like, and there’s no ‘use by’ date! After you’ve completed the Trail you can enter your answer online to be in with a chance of winning a cash prize! Trails take between one and two hours to complete (depending on which Trail you choose) and can be downloaded to print at home or you can order them to be posted to you. Click on the website link to find out more about all our Trails in County Durham and the rest of the UK. You can even personalise Trails on the website – a great idea for a birthday party. Happy Trailing!
