They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

A trail of clues awaits in

SW Coast Path

Legend has it that the notorious Cornish smuggler, Jago Dyer, has been searching for the Sahira Ruby for years. This priceless gem was lost in a shipwreck along the Fowey River and brought to land by one of Jago's ancestors. But with only a worn treasure map left behind, the search has been fruitless. Now, Jago has enlisted the help of the Exploration Society to track down the ruby and retire from his smuggling ways.

But Chief Ivor Hadenuff, determined to catch Jago, is hot on his trail. Only the most skilled adventurers can solve the clues and find the treasure before Chief Hadenuff catches up.

Treasure Hunt Through Polruan and Fowey

Embark on an immersive self-guided treasure hunt through the charming villages of Polruan and Fowey. As you follow the South West Coast Path, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and historic monuments.

The adventure begins in the quaint fishing village of Polruan, taking you on a short ferry ride across the river to Fowey. From there, you'll make your way to St Catherine's Castle before returning to your starting point.

Join the hunt for the Sahira Ruby and prove your skills as a top adventurer!

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail takes you to Polruan and Fowey along a small section of the South West Coast Path. A free car park is available on the outskirts of Polruan, but you will need to walk down the hill to the pay and; display car park which is close to the start of the Trail.

Allow at least 4 hours to complete the walk.

You will be taking the passenger ferry across the water to Fowey. There is a charge for the ferry each way of £2 per adult, 80p per child over 3 years old and 40p per dog! This Trail is not typical Coast Path terrain, but does include steep hills.

This Trail can also be done in reverse so that you start in Fowey.

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.
