Skipton Treasure Hunt Follow the route and answer the questions. A great afternoon for all the family.
Children have fun spotting things. Older ones exercise your brains on harder questions.
September 2012 Edition
The route is approximately 3½ miles long, easy walking on footpaths and along canal towpaths and takes 2-2½
hours to complete. There is one set of steps on the route but a short diversion is provided for wheelchair users
and those with pushchairs.
Note: on market days the High Street is very busy and some clues may not easily be visible.
Start on Gargrave Road by the pedestrian access to the Coach Street car park.
All clues are visible without intruding on private areas such as gardens etc.
There is no hidden treasure (that we know of), simply answer the questions and collect the items listed on the
next page to get points and the team with the most points wins. Have fun.
