The Mystery of Joshua Island - Can YOU Find the Buried Treasure?

In 1806, the adventurer Joshua Jacob Trago set sail from Boscastle and was never seen again. But just yesterday, a group of local fishermen made a surprising discovery-a map, instructions, and a promise of treasure left behind by Joshua himself!

Now, it's up to YOU, our top adventurers, to follow the clues, narrow down the possible locations, and unearth the hidden loot. Are YOU ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

Treasure Hunt Through Boscastle - Heart, Harbour & Castle

The Trail starts at the main car park and takes you past the Witchcraft Museum, around the harbour, and into the heart of the village, where many visitors never venture.

As you explore the historic landmarks, permanent features, and hidden gems of Boscastle, keep an eye out for sneaky clues that will lead you closer to the buried treasure. But be warned-Joshua was known for his cunning, and only the most daring adventurers will be able to solve the final riddle and claim the loot.
