Alice Holt Forest Footpaths and Pond

The Golden Bark - A Treasure Hunt Through Alice Holt Forest

Many years ago, a local lumberjack named Tim Burr stumbled upon a perfectly preserved piece of Roman pottery in Alice Holt Forest. To his amazement, it was filled with gold coins! Eager to keep the treasure for himself, Tim decided to hide the pot inside a hollowed-out tree trunk, planning to retrieve it at the port. But fate had other plans.

The tree trunk containing the gold was used to build a new ship, The Golden Bark, which sailed away into the sunset. The treasure was lost, until now. The wreck of The Golden Bark has been discovered in shallow waters, along with the ship's logbook containing a map and clues to the mast's final resting place. But the logbook makes no mention of the gold, leading to speculation that it may still be hidden within the mast...
