Can You Piece Together This Mysterious Treasure Map?

Doug Upperbone, the famous fossil hunter from Barrow, is keen but rather clumsy. In his latest excavation, he accidentally demolished a Roman urn. But inside, he found a sealed package containing a curious map of a tiny island off the coast of neighbouring Lincolnshire. Along with some directions and scribbled notes, it seems to be a trail of Clues. How did it get there? Doug is too accident-prone to continue, so the Exploration Society has taken charge of this expedition. We need our TOP Adventurers to follow the Trail and help Doug solve this potty puzzle.

Treasure Hunt Through Barrow upon Soar

Get ready for an immersive self-guided treasure hunt through the charming village of Barrow upon Soar. As you journey through the quaint streets and picturesque countryside, you'll uncover sneaky clues hidden in historic buildings, permanent features, and intriguing monuments.

Start your adventure at the Barrow upon Soar Museum, where Doug first discovered the mysterious treasure map. From there, you'll follow the trail of clues through the village, past the Barrow River, and into the surrounding countryside, before reaching the final destination.

But be warned, this treasure hunt won't be easy. Doug may have been a bit clumsy, but he was also clever. Only the most daring and sharp-minded adventurers will be able to piece together the clues and uncover the hidden treasure.
