Terrain and Accessibility of Our trails
Our trails are predominantly located within city centres and are fairly easy walks. As we love historical areas for our trails, many pass through cobbled streets, but generally, the routes are all paved or solid.
While we strive to avoid steps and obstacles that may pose difficulties for some participants, this may not always be achieved or feasible. We are also making efforts to provide alternative routes and detours for our trails where possible.
Detours to avoid steps and obstacles
Bristol Old City Murder Mystery Trail: The route passes up a large set of steps on Christmas Steps between Colston Avenue and Colston Street; a clue is solved at each end of the steps. To go around them, solve the clue at the foot of Christmas steps, then follow Host Street. At the end of the road, turn right onto Colston Street. Follow Colston Street until you reach Christmas Steps 1 on your right (just past the Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne) to solve the clue at the top of the steps and rejoin the trail route. A slight detour can also avoid passing down Market Steps in Direction 13.1; continue to the end of St. Nicholas Street, turn right onto High Street, and then right again onto Baldwin Street to rejoin the trail route.
City of London Murder Mystery Trail: The route passes up and down a set of steps in front of The Fenchurch Building (AKA The Walkie Talkie) in Clue 10. To avoid these steps, exit Philpot Lane onto Eastcheap, turn left onto Rood Lane, and turn right onto Plantation Lane to rejoin the route and solve this Clue. In Direction 13, the route passes up a set of steps from St. Katherine’s Way (near where the road meets Cloister Walk) onto Tower Bridge Approach (A100). For step-free access to Clue 13, continue north along St. Katherine’s Way using the right-hand pavement, then, at the end of this road, use the available pedestrian crossings to cross over Tower Bridge Approach to rejoin the trail route. The final Clue is solved on the sundial outside Tower Hill Underground Station which is only accessible via a set of steps. For step-free access to the station itself, approach from Trinity Square.
