The circuit needs to be stripped down and each section of cable thoroughly tested. 95% likely to be low insulation resistance due to a damaged section of cable somewhere.
As you'd need specialist test equipment this is not a DIY job, so you'll need to hire an electrician for a couple of hours to trace the fault.

If it's tripping regularly at regular intervals, it may be a faulty appliance. You could unplug everything that is connected to the circuit for a couple of hours and see if it stops the tripping. If this works then it's just a matter of working out the cause by a process of elimination. Failing this, you will need to pay for testing.
