Medieval Mystery in the Heart of Kent
Our Canterbury Clue Hunt is a self-guided, paper-based adventure that takes you through the city’s most beautiful and intriguing corners.
Canterbury is world-famous for its cathedral — but there’s so much more to discover. The Clue Hunt guides you through both iconic and overlooked corners, revealing little details most visitors miss.
Along the way, you’ll:
Decode clues around the Cathedral , no divine intervention needed.
Solve riddles near Westgate Towers, the city’s ancient gateway.
Find hidden symbols in the King’s Mile, where shops and stories intertwine.
Crack a puzzle in Dane John Gardens, with sweeping views over the walls.
Follow In Chaucer’s footsteps, if he did in fact, actually ever visit Canterbury.
Every clue unlocks a new piece of Canterbury — its history, its humour, and its hidden side.
No apps, no downloads, no batteries required. Just teamwork, curiosity, and maybe a pen that still works.
