The Mysterious Disappearance of Captain Greybeard
Legend has it that the notorious pirate, Captain Greybeard, has hidden his vast treasure hoard on the mysterious Skull Island, somewhere off the coast of Somerset. But after retiring and stashing his loot, the Captain vanished without a trace. Now it's your turn to take on his cunning challenge and see if you have what it takes to uncover his lost treasure.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Bristol, there are a few things you need to know...
Your return journey is via a short ferry crossing (small fee applies) back to the start. We would advise you to start this Trail before 3.00pm to be sure of catching a ferry back. Please check that the ferry is running on the day you plan to do your Trail (PLEASE NOTE - the ferry does not operate on Christmas / Boxing Days).
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to cobbled streets along the way, and needing the catch a ferry.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
We recommend parking behind the building at the starting point of your Trail (outside the harbourside door of M Shed, BS1 4RN). Or why not try Bristol’s fantastic Park and Ride service?
There are some fantastic events in Bristol’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.
There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail (Clue 09), and the route passes a few places to eat along the way, or you can bring a picnic!
