Ampthill Spy Mission Treasure Trail

Ampthill's Foggy Fiasco - A Race Against Time!

Attention all Agents! The picturesque town of Ampthill is in grave danger. The annual 'Scenic views in Bedfordshire' competition is just around the corner and we have received intel that the mayor of the neighbouring town has a sinister plan to sabotage Ampthill's chances of winning. The mayor has set up a fog-making machine in the valley that will create a thick blanket of fog, obstructing the judges' view and causing Ampthill to lose. But fear not — her band of aides have scattered clues to the deactivation code while casing Ampthill, and we urgently need TOP Agents (that's you!) to decipher the clues, crack the code, and save the day before it's too late.

This self-guided Spy Mission is an immersive and family-friendly adventure through the charming town of Ampthill. Starting from Ampthill Great Park Central Car Park on Woburn Street (the official mission starting point), you'll use all your spy skills to uncover hidden clues, solve puzzles, and stop the villain's evil plan. The 3-mile loop trail takes around 2 hours to complete at your own pace, passing scenic views and historic landmarks along the way.

Four-legged agents are welcome — the trail is dog friendly. Public toilets can be found to the right of Church Street before Clue 14, and there's a great picnic spot after Clue 15 to pause and debrief mid-mission. Sections of the mission involve crossing roads and walking alongside them, so stay alert near traffic and keep younger operatives under close supervision.
