MURDER mystery, treasure hunt and spy trails can be explored in Wyre Forest to help beat summertime boredom.
Youngsters and their families looking for some outdoor fun can search for treasure on a two-hour treasure hunt trail in Stourport.
Their quest will be to search for gold and silver bullion that was stolen by smugglers from a royal barge heading down the canal to the River Severn in the 18th century.
They will be given a map with clues around the town leading to the treasure’s location.
In Kidderminster, wannabe detectives can try to solve the clues in a murder mystery trail.
The case involves a series of unsolved murders committed in the town, which have been reopened.
It starts and finishes in Weavers Wharf and those taking part have to help solve the clues and work out who did the murders and what weapon was used.
Meanwhile, the Bewdley spy trail starts in Gardeners Meadow car park, where youngsters have to help “agent Jane Pond” follow clues and find the deactivation code for a device planted by “Dr Horribly Bad”.
He plans to flood Worcestershire and has planted the device somewhere in the town.
The trails have been organised by Treasure Trails Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It was started by David and Amanda Ingham with the aim of getting local people and visitors to see and learn more about the area.
David said: “We all know that British summertime weather can be a bit unpredictable but walking, exploring and solving clues is just as much fun in the sunshine as in the rain.
“Treasure trails are a great activity for the whole family to complete together as children, parents and grandparents can all get involved in finding and solving our exciting, innovative and fun mysteries.”
