Bristol

Legend has it that the notorious pirate, Captain Greybeard, has hidden his vast treasure hoard on the mysterious Skull Island, somewhere off the coast of Somerset.

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Bristol, there are a few things you need to know...

Your return journey is via a short ferry crossing (small fee applies) back to the start. We would advise you to start this Trail before 3.00pm to be sure of catching a ferry back. Please check that the ferry is running on the day you plan to do your Trail (PLEASE NOTE - the ferry does not operate on Christmas / Boxing Days).

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to cobbled streets along the way, and needing the catch a ferry.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads. 

We recommend parking behind the building at the starting point of your Trail (outside the harbourside door of M Shed, BS1 4RN). Or why not try Bristol’s fantastic Park and Ride service?

There are some fantastic events in Bristol’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.

There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail (Clue 09), and the route passes a few places to eat along the way, or you can bring a picnic! 

Looking for more things to do in Bristol? Make a day of it and visit Bristol Aquarium to meet some fishy friends or Bristol Museum and Art Gallery to learn more twisting tales about the city. You could even challenge yourself to one of our other Bristol Trails!

Mini Explorer Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
