The Quest...

Welcome to the Trail of Gloucester,
Riddles and rhymes you must foster.
Twenty clues you must unpick,
Read it slowly, not too quick.
Eyes and ears you must use well,
Each of the clues has a story to tell.
You need to read between the lines,
To uncover the truth of old past times.

Every clue unique but clever,
You must reflect to find the treasure.
Look up, look down, look all round,
Be careful to use what you've found.
Throughout the trail you will find,
Keys in windows of the same kind.
Use them wisely along the way,
Keep them in mind or you might stray.

Enjoy the Trail and if you need,
Retrace your steps, replant the seed.
Think it through and think again,
Think what? Who? Where? And when?
The wheel of pictures assists this trail,
Use it well and you won't fail.
Good luck, have fun and try your best,
To solve the mystery of this Quest.
