PEOPLE who have lived in the city for decades are learning new things about Worcester thanks to a new walking trail.

Hawkeye Hunts has organised a one to two-mile walk filled with questions which reveal the hidden history of Worcester.

Ewan Bowron, founder of Hawkeye Hunts, said: "We saw all these lovely towns and cities with great history and people don't see it."

Mr Bowron and his father Simon set up the business in March but had been working towards starting Hawkeye Hunts since the summer of 2023.

"We write the questions and the steps, we plan the routes, we design the website," he said.

Hawkeye Hunts has trails across the Midlands with ten in Worcestershire alone.

Mr Bowron explained what visitors can expect from the hunt.

He said: "It's an educational and fun activity for the whole family.

"I've had people who have lived in Worcester for 20 years tell me they didn't know things on the trail."

The 1.7 miles trail starts at Worcester Cathedral before heading past the statue of Edward Elgar and down the High Street. 

Along the way, people will walk along the River Severn and through Worcester's shopping centre.

While the advised time for the hunt is between one and two hours, Mr Bowron encourages people to take it at their own pace: "When you order, you get the hunt on a PDF and it's up to you when you start and how long it takes you."

Mr Bowron suggested visitors stop for lunch or go shopping during the tour to make the most of the route.

Despite only starting in March, Mr Bowron is already looking towards the future: "I want to get people to explore their cities and learn about their history."

"I'd like to expand the hunts around the rest of the UK as well."
