The Lost Jewels of King Edward II - A Treasure Hunt in Berkeley

According to historical records, King Edward II entrusted his favourite knight, Sir Quillan Ink, with the task of keeping diaries detailing the exact location of the King's priceless jewels. After the King's imprisonment and transfer to Berkeley, Sir Quillan bravely slipped away along with the precious gems and hid them away in Berkely. He created a map of possible hiding spots, along with clues to the hoard, just in case one of the plots to free Edward II was successful. But, they were never recovered… until now?

A Right Royal Ruckus - A Family-Friendly Treasure Hunt in Berkeley

Rumours of an old map and series of clues, handed down the generations, have been bandied about for years. But nothing was certain until recently when the map reached us at the Intrepid Explorers Society! We need YOU, our most intrepid Explorers, to follow the clues and uncover the location of the hidden treasure trove before anyone else gets their hands on it. Good luck!

Are you ready for an exciting day out with family and friends in Berkeley? Then embark on this self-guided treasure hunt themed Treasure Trail and explore the town in a whole new way. As you follow the Trail route, you'll discover sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while enjoying a leisurely walk around this quiet location.

Make sure to leave time to visit the Berkeley Castle, where the imprisoned Edward II was held, and the Jenner Museum, commemorating the inventor of the smallpox vaccine and the 'father of immunology'.

Join the adventure and be the first to uncover the Lost Jewels of King Edward II!
