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...
The Mystery of the Missing Gold
Embark on an exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt through Alice Holt Forest, where you'll follow in the footsteps of Tim Burr and search for the lost treasure of The Golden Bark. As you make your way through the forest, keep your eyes peeled for cleverly concealed clues hidden in the trees, along the footpaths, and near the pond.
But be warned, the forest is full of surprises and twists and turns that will challenge even the most daring adventurers. Will YOU be the one to crack the code and uncover the pot of gold that sailed away?
The forest is calling... Will YOU accept the challenge and embark on this exciting adventure?

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
This route follows forest footpaths with some steep sections, tree roots and steps so is not suitable for wheelchair or pushchair users, or those on bicycles or scooters. Some paths may be muddy after wet weather.
Four-legged friends are very welcome. They should be kept on a lead in the car park, near the play areas and by the pond but are otherwise free to stretch their legs. There is a dog-wash facility if they get super-muddy sniffing out some of the clues!
This Trail starts and finishes at the Visitor Centre where there are toilets, a café, and a gift shop.
There are no other facilities along the route but there are picnic tables about halfway around.
