Search for the Sancy Diamond

Starting in the woodland car park, this is a group challenge for adults or children over 10 years of age.

Back in 1946 during a lavish dinner party, the Sancy diamond from Nancy Astor’s bejewelled tiara was stolen. The criminals hid the stolen diamond in the woodlands and left instructions for an accomplice to collect it at a later date,.

During their escape they dropped the clue sheet and so never returned to collect their plunder. Decades later, these instructions have been rediscovered and now it’s your turn to crack the codes and find Nancy’s Sancy diamond. The trail starts in the woodland car park. £5 per group.
