Frequently asked questions

Where does the West Bridgford walk start and finish?
It starts at Trent Bridge and finishes back there, so it works as a loop. On the way you pass the riverside, Wilford Suspension Bridge, Old Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire County Hall, the Trent Bridge Inn and the Trent End.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan on a little over an hour, around 70 to 75 minutes, to cover about 3.6 km and 14 stops. You can pause at any point and carry on later, so a stop for food or a drink at the Trent Bridge Inn fits in easily.
Is it a good walk for children?
It is tagged as a family favourite, and the puzzles are based on things you can see at each stop, like flood marks and plaques. It suits school-age children who enjoy a mystery and can comfortably walk 3.6 km.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, and the Squad Challenge tag means the puzzles are built for solving together. There is no time slot to book and no guide to meet, so you start whenever you arrive at Trent Bridge.
Is the route outdoors, and what if it rains?
The whole route is outdoors, much of it along the River Trent and across its bridges, so dress for the weather. If rain sets in, you can pause the game and continue from the same stop on another day.
