While you are helping the grown ups find their way around the routes of the
Via Sacra (use the map opposite) complete the puzzles for the opportunity
to win a great prize. Some of the answers will be found on the route, some
will be in the grown up’s Via Sacra leaflet and some you will just have
to work out for yourself!
To help you along we have given you a few clues, the numbers next to the
questions and on the map will help you find out where, during your walk,
you can find the answers. There are also additional clues and if you really
get stuck the answers are online at www.gloucester.gov.uk/viasacra
We hope you enjoy the walk.
