2025 Festival Treasure Hunt

Your adventure, “On the Wildside,” is all about discovering the twelve numbered locations and their wildlife features hidden within the images. The best part? Every location can be reached on foot, using public paths or common land around Wolvercote and Wytham.

To help you get started, download the map here and use it to mark where you think each image belongs. Ready for a fun challenge? Each picture comes with two questions:

  • What’s the species? (plants or animals)
  • Where’s the location?

Some might be a bit tricky, but that’s all part of the fun!

Remember, this treasure hunt is just for enjoyment, but if you’d like an answer sheet once you’re done, simply email us at events@wolvercote.org.

A big thank you to Amanda Saville for designing this treasure hunt for the Festival Committee. Now, good luck, and happy exploring!
