Unravel the Secrets of England’s Ancient Capital
Solve clever clues, explore winding streets, and uncover Winchester’s hidden gems — all with a paper map and your puzzle-solving wits.
Our Winchester Clue Hunt is a self-guided, paper-based adventure that turns this historic city into your personal playground. Follow a beautifully designed route, crack cryptic puzzles, and discover stories tucked behind every stone.
Perfect for families, couples, and friends who like their history with a side of brainpower.
What Is the Winchester Clue Hunt?
Think of it as a walking tour designed by a riddle-loving detective.
Your Clue Hunt booklet is packed with fiendish puzzles, witty wordplay, and a map that lead you from landmark to landmark — through cathedrals, gardens, riverside paths, and ancient gates.
No app. No Wi-Fi. No spinning wheels of “loading…” doom. Just paper, people, and puzzles.
Each pack includes:
A carefully planned route (about 2 miles / 3.2 km, ~2 hours)
Clever, original puzzles using local landmarks and hidden details
Full-colour illustrations and a beautiful map
Explore Winchester’s Hidden Wonders
Winchester is full of stories — from kings and knights to scholars and poets — and our Clue Hunt helps you uncover them all.
Along the way, you’ll:
Solve a riddle in the shadow of Winchester Cathedral, one of Europe’s longest and loveliest.
Crack clues near the Great Hall, home of the legendary Round Table.
Follow trails along the River Itchen, with serene views and sneaky puzzles.
Uncover secrets in the Buttercross and High Street, where history meets hustle.
Spot hidden details passing Wolvesey Castle’s ruins, whispering tales of old royalty.
Every step reveals something new — part puzzle, part history, part adventure.
