For Treasure Trailers with an interest in local walks, murder mysteries and lots of fun and games, Hampshire Treasure Trails offers a unique variety of scenery, history and culture.Treasure Trails Hampshire, based in Winchester and managed by Tony and Lisa Jackson, have come up with a unique set of walks around local towns and cities that will get people out and about exploring the area in a fun and involving way.

It is a new term at Ravensfoot School for witches, but headmaster Rufus Stone has some grave news for the pupils. Mistress Swish, the head of broomstick flying, has been found dead in her home in Burley. Fortunately, she predicted her own death and left a number of clues around the village to help identify the murderer and the murder weapon. Can you unlock the mystery and save the day. If so you could win a prize!

This is just one of many stories used by Tony and Lisa when creating their Treasure Trails around local towns! The walks are aimed at getting people out and about exploring the county. They are suitable for all ages and will appeal to both visitors and locals. Each trail leads participants around their chosen location, by following a series of questions based on historical and factual information.

It is a quiz and guided tour all rolled into one and requires participants to "solve the clues to see the sights".

More than 30 Trails are planned across Hampshire for 2009, with many more following next year. A cash prize will be offered to a winner drawn from all correct entries for the year.

Trails can be downloaded by families and individuals by logging onto the national website www.treasuretrails.co.uk.

Some are written in a murder mystery format - a ‘murder' has been committed and the answer to each clue is a name or a date that must be eliminated from the list of suspects and possible weapons. Others are written around a map of an island and the clues will lead to the location of the buried ‘treasure'. Still more follow the format of a Spy Trail. Here, the task is to foil the plot of a master villain and de activate a nuclear device hidden somewhere in the area.Lisa Jackson, Manager of Treasure Trails Hampshire, believes the trails will genuinely enhance not only the visitors' experience of the New Forest 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!"
