WHY WETHERBY?
Known as the “Gateway to the Dales,” Wetherby is steeped in history, from its Roman roots to its time as a bustling coaching town. But beyond its picturesque riverside and charming streets lies a tale of betrayal and murder. In the 14th century, Robert of Wetherby was found dead under suspicious circumstances. The trail will take you back in time, exploring the motives, suspects, and secrets that surrounded his death. Can you uncover who was responsible for this chilling crime?

THE IMPORTANT BIT:
As daring adults, let's embrace our adventurous spirits! Your safety and that of your fellow explorers are in your capable hands. So join the walk and prepare yourself because Wetherby is calling.

I believe in providing a more intimate and personalised experience, so I prefer to send groups off in smaller numbers so nobody (new or old members) feels left out. Alternatively, you can form your own group with your friends to embark on this thrilling journey together!

THE WALK: This walk is mostly on paved paths and is an easy walk over 2 miles. Your group will be going at a slow pace as they look for clues, listen to stories and follow directions.

This event is FREE. However, we will be collecting donations for MIND, the charity our Adventure Group supports.
