Boscastle

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?

Please Note:

This Trail explores a harbour area which has stone steps that can be very slippery when wet. A steep hill is also encountered, we would strongly advise appropriate footwear.
