Somerset’s timeless landscape provides a huge range of amazing places to explore.

There’s idyllic villages like Dunster, Allerford and Crowcombe, the ancient mysteries of Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset Levels, historic towns like Bridgwater, Wells and Bath, plus the hustle and bustle of Taunton.

One great way to uncover the hidden secrets of all these locations and have a lot of fun at the same time it with a self-guided Treasure Trail.

Designed for ages from six to 106, there are no fewer than 29 Treasure Trails to choose from across Somerset with exciting locations like Cheddar, Exmoor and Weston-super-Mare.

The Trails cost £9.99 (plus P&P if required), are suitable for groups of up to five and, compared to the average family day out at a theme park or visitor attraction, represent amazing value for money.

Lasting around two hours, the aim is to solve a set of fiendish clues on a circular route of approximately two miles incorporating plaques, signs, statues, monuments, images, engravings or anything else the Trail writers can make use of.

 They can be downloaded from Treasure Trails’ website (www.treasuretrails.co.uk) and printed immediately, or sent in the post.

As well as providing a fun way to explore a new area, the Trails also offer the chance to see an area you thought you knew well in a totally different way.
