Shuvlyn Pick's Treasure Hunt: Can You Outsmart the Rogue Restorer?
The Verulamium Museum in St Albans has been left in a state of shock after its Roman treasure hoard was stolen by the notorious archaeologist and puzzle-solver, Shuvlyn Pick. With the precious relics now missing and Shuvlyn in hiding on the island of Albion, he has challenged all clever explorers to outsmart him and restore the stolen pieces to their rightful home.
Treasure Hunt Through St Albans - Old City & Park
Embark on an unforgettable self-guided treasure hunt through the historic and scenic town of St Albans. Starting at the Roman Museum, your adventure will take you through the winding streets and alleys of the Old City, past the iconic St Albans Cathedral, and to the oldest pub in the UK. Keep your eyes peeled for the historic wall, built between 265 and 270 AD, and be prepared to use your wits as you explore…
Word has it that Shuvlyn Pick has left a trail of clues and a map to his possible hiding places on the island. Are you up for the challenge? Can you solve the puzzles, catch the rogue restorer, and retrieve the stolen treasure?

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

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route is not marked as friendly for wheelchair users due to some steps encountered at the walled gardens. It would be possible for a wheelchair user to access this garden from the far side if they took a long detour via the street and came back into it; however, these directions are not included within the route. Those with light pushchairs should find this manageable.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that dogs will need to be kept on leads at all times, even in the green spaces, as there are waterfowl on the lake.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at the Verulamium Museum (AL3 4SW), just off on St Michael's Street, where your adventure begins.
There are some fantastic events in St Albans' calendar, all of which are great times to visit this historic city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact St Albans' Tourist Information.
There are public toilets available at the beginning and end of the quest, as well as in two places along the route. There are plenty of chances to stop at cafes and pubs in the first half of the route, as well as a park area for a picnic.
Why not make a day of it and peek inside the cathedral, or pay a visit to the Verulamium Museum to uncover more twisting tales from the city's past? If you're up for a challenge and a touch of espionage, you could tackle our Secrets of St Albans spy mission Trail!
