Girl guides go on hunt for treasure at Wrest Park

Rainbows, brownies and guides from across Flitwick and Ampthill were guinea pigs for the day testing out the proposed English heritage Treasure Quest.

The sun shone and the girls enjoyed exploring the grounds while solving the clues posed to them in their quest.

Girlguiding Bedfordshire county commissioner Anne Crome said: “We were delighted to work with English Heritage on this project and, after many months of discussion, it was great that everything finally came together in a super afternoon of, making history fun.”
