Announcing Lots of New Trails


This is one for our regular Trailers - we have been busy in the first five months of this year writing new Trails for the catalogue and although three of them still need testing, two are up and running and out there for you to try!

Here's what we love about each of them and what we aren't so happy about :)

Kingsland Spy Mission
What we love about the Kingsland Trail is that it is written mostly in rhyme and although we are billing it as one of our easier Trails it still has all the elements of our normal Trails with clues written for all the family. What we aren't so sure about is whether Kingsland itself has enough to entertain the family once the Trail is done, but as we were originally commissioned by the local primary school to write it, it would be a shame not to share with everyone else. We are always happy to work with schools to help with fund raising as we did with this one, so do get in touch in you are on the PTA or are a teacher in a local school.

Beckford to Bredon Murder Mystery
What we love about this Trail is it really does explore parts of Worcestershire that lots and lots of you might not know exists. The small villages which are part of the Cotswolds are an absolute delight and must be seen if you are at all interested in the countryside. What we aren't so happy about is that we couldn't get the Trail to go up Bredon Hill itself in a sensible way, but we really hope that people take the opportunity whilst they are in the area to explore the hill itself. We are looking for retailers in the area who may be interested in stocking this Trail.

Ludlow Murder Mystery
The Trail is a delight for all lovers of Ludlow itself and who have been lured with the promise of local produce. The Trail starts and finishes in Castle Square where the market holds the key to many of the local producers and where Trailers can eat and drink some fab stuff. What we aren't so pleased about it, is although we have written it, it is in fact in Shropshire not in Herefordshire or Worcestershire, so when we finally get a licensee to take on Treasure Trails Shropshire, we will lose the Trail to them! If you know someone who might be interested in talking to us about the opportunity in Shropshire, do let us know.

Brecon Murder Mystery
What a surprise Brecon turned out to be. A really interesting town with a wonderful walk along the canal and the opportunity to see some brilliant views and much of historic interest. However, like Ludlow, it is out of our region and we will have to hand it to a new Powys licensee when we get one. Know anyone who wants a fun business to run who lives in Powys?

Inkberrow Murder Mystery
What we love about this new Trail is the opportunity it gives Trailers to explore three really interesting and pretty villages in the east of Worcestershire. What we are not so sure about is whether we should have started it in Astwood Bank, Feckenham or Inkberrow! Try it and let us know what you think!
