A trail of clues awaits in
Aldeburgh
Whilst enjoying a day out in the quaint seaside town of Aldeburgh, one of our volunteers, Leeta Pickup, stumbled upon a mysterious treasure map. Rumoured to have originated from the legendary Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake's famous galleon, this map reveals the location of his vast treasures. Now, the map has made its way to the Intrepid Explorers Society (IES), and we need your help to decipher its clues and unearth the hidden hoard!

Mini Explorer Club
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.
