About Us
We are a family of mum and two (now grown up!) daughters. We’ve always enjoyed visiting new places over the years as a family and have had lovely day trips visiting towns that were new to us.
We’d arrive, walk around the middle popular bit, have something to eat, have a drink, have an ice cream and go home all having had a lovely day out. However … we went home not knowing very much about the place we’d just visited – who were the people of the past? – what were the town stories? – what went on there? – who was misbehaving?!
We created our Quiz Trails to bring together everything you’d want from a visit … or to explore your home town in a fresh new way. An interesting route to see the best parts including some hidden alleyways and paths you might never have discovered – pointing out highlights of things you might have missed – plus a take-home souvenir to read more about the stories of the town at your leisure.
The quiz is fun for adults – we added questions for children as well to engage them in local history too. We love history but understand children aren’t always pleased at just walking around! We wanted our Quiz Trails to be enjoyed by adults with or without children ... and as a fun activity for ALL ages.
We’ve kept all our Quiz Trails to about 1.2 miles and about 1 to 2 hours (whilst also pointing out longer walks if you want more walk in your day) … because we all still want that special visiting time to enjoy something to eat and to have a drink and to have an ice cream!
We started our first trail in our local Rochester in 2019 and had some families test the trail for us – they all said they were shown things they’d never noticed in all the years they lived there!
Enjoy great days out!

My favourite Quiz Trail ...
I’d best not say too much because if you haven’t yet completed the Whitstable Quiz Trail … I don’t want to give to give the surprise away! There’s a fabulous spot half way round that always takes my breath away - we all have to breathe in! One of the main things I like about making the trails with my lovely daughters, is discovering places that we don’t all usually go. Little alleys and lanes that take us away from the main part of a place to discover so much more!

My favourite Quiz Trail ...
I enjoy making all the trails - it’s always great fun to get outdoors together and we always laugh a lot. Plus there’s always food involved - sometimes a picnic and sometimes a pub lunch - but usually it’s a meal deal! Tenterden has so much more behind the High Street. It’s surrounded by rural areas and you can imagine that in the olden days it was a central meeting place for leisure and trade - where people would have come together from all across the Weald.

Leatherhead is my favourite Quiz Trail. It’s a place we all knew quite well anyway and found it really exciting to find different parts of the town that I’d never seen before. Even a couple of local people have told us they didn’t know about a little pathway down to the River Mole. We’re always so pleased to hear of others enjoying our Quiz Trails and spending fun time with their loved ones - especially when they say that they’ve also found places they didn’t know were there too.

Meet Trina
Over time we’ve been joined by a published author, Petrina Brown! Petrina has ghost-written a number of books for others over many successful years and is now writing the history of Surrey Towns and Villages for Quiz Trails. Petrina is discovering fascinating history! “I’m learning so much,” says Petrina. “Who knew, for example, that John Logie Baird lived on Boxhill, one of his first broadcasts being transmitted from the top of the popular beauty spot to the Red Lion pub in Dorking High Street?! Or that Dorking has caves? We're working as a team to continue to create Quiz Trails in Kent, East Sussex and now Surrey!
Meet James
Every family needs a James! If you’ve seen our posts on Facebook you’ll have seen James - our gem from Yorkshire! James is brilliant at helping with making the trails - often looking after Bobby dog on the days while we’re all out making the routes together. We constantly change the route and go back and forwards and round and round so it’s good that someone is walking Bobby dog at the same time.
James’ favourite Quiz Trail is Ramsgate. It could be to do with it having all his favourite things close to each other … boats, fishing, seafood and plenty of watering holes!
What’s so great about history?
History is taught in EVERY school across the UK and around the world! Why does history matter? Learning history when we are young helps us to understand how people lived in the past and how events and actions from the olden days have shaped the present world we live in today. History encourages us to think and understand different thoughts and viewpoints. The word history comes from the Ancient Greek word ‘historía’ which was the word for ‘the act of seeking knowledge’. Quiz Trails are
always packed full of amazing history!
Let customers speak for us
Really enjoyed doing this quiz and completed it just before it rained.
We enjoyed our quiz trail in Rochester it was very nice to be back in Rochester and a great opportunity to take a train ride for our day out. Chris, Erica and Irah
Yet another enjoyable quiz - learning lots of interesting facts about places around us!!
We really enjoyed it and learned so much about our local village. It took slightly longer but was engaging enough to keep the kids entertained the whole time.
We loved the way it slowed us down to enjoy all that Rye had to offer - especially the buildings (and cake)!!
Enjoyed it very much and got soaked in the rain!
Had a great day out with my grandson who is 16 - normally only wants to play computer games but he really enjoyed it and wants to do more quiztrails!!! Thank you so much for helping me get him out and about !!
Another lovely day following a quiz trail. Cant wait to do the next one. Thank you.
We decided to complete this trail in mostly torrential rain, so we enjoyed lots of breaks in cosy warm dry pubs along the way, and a fantastic tapas lunch at La Taberna! A warm sunny day would have made the quiz more enjoyable but we all still had a great time and learned lots. Thank you
Had a fabulous time & discovered new parts of Folkestone.
Great way to see areas of town you would not always go to.
