Treasure Trails

About

Turn a regular day out into a full-blown adventure!
 

Bristol is a beautiful city to visit, and there’s no better way to explore than by solving the sneaky clues on a self-guided Treasure Trail; the fun and imaginative way to discover Bristol’s hidden gems all while on an important investigation! 

The Bristol Old City self-guided detective mystery Trail leads you through the culture and heritage of this vibrant city. Your curious case will have you whittling down a list of suspects to reveal the one responsible for stealing the famous painting 'The Icecream' by Eddie Munch! Patrol through the oldest parts of the city centre, from one of the original gateways to the city to St Nicholas Market, then on to the Christmas Steps in search of the clues.
 

So, what is a Treasure Trail?

It's a real-life adventure that fires up the imagination and gets you exploring the most exciting parts of Bristol.

Treasure Trails are a captivating challenge that combines mind-twisting clues and fascinating stories for anyone with a sense of adventure, whether 6 or 106 (or somewhere in between).

The answers to the clues can be found on permanent historical and quirky features, so you'll be exploring and learning about the area at the same time.

Watch their “What is a Treasure Trail?” video to get the full lowdown.

All their Bristol Trails are self-guided, which gives you the flexibility to enjoy your Trail adventure on any day of the week and at a time to suit you.

Allow yourself around two hours to complete a Bristol Treasure Trail. You won’t even realise you’re walking a couple of miles as you go - you’ll be too busy having fun hunting for the answers to the clues!
