What people are saying about South West England

I brought this for myself, my husband and our dog for a visit to Bristol. It was lots of fun. Great way to see Bristol and you get to go to some great pubs. Took us longer as we ended up having a few drinks in each pub. Really recommend. Great clues and great for all ages. Some really interesting facts and easy to follow. Will definitely look at doing something similar again! :)

This was a great activity to explore the heart of Bristol and learn a bit of history. HIGHLY RECOMMEND The clues a good difficulty level. You can also make this a pub crawl if you want. Did this by myself and still thought it was pretty fun. Took about 2.5hrs total.

We had a great time we found everything except clue 12 where we couldn’t find the the plaque at 1a the crescent but this didn’t detract from a really fun few hrs exploring bath

We really enjoyed the treasure hunt. What a great way to see the city and visit some pubs along the way.

Good fun - got to see the city with a few pubs along the way
