ADVENTUROUS people will be able to get out and about to explore Worcester in a new and fun way.

A new company called Treasure Trails allows people to take a unique set of walks around local towns and cities.

Set up by David and Amanda Ingham of Credenhill, Hereford, the trails are suitable for all ages and are designed to appeal to visitors and residents.

One of their fictitious stories includes the murder of an important porcelain merchant of Worcester which was never solved, and people taking part in the walk have to try and solve the mystery.

Each trail leads participants around their chosen location, by following a series of questions based on historical and factual information.

A total of 14 trails have been written across the two counties and a cash prize will be offered to a winner drawn from all correct entries of the year.

Mr Ingham, manager of Treasure Trails, believes the trails will genuinely enhance not only the visitors’ experience of the area but also that of local people.

“The trails are a combination of fun, physical and educational activity which encourages people to see the towns they walk around from a different perspective. They always find more than they are looking for,” he said.
