The Golden Hoard of Burton-on-Trent - Will YOU Be the One to Find It?

In the charming town of Burton-on-Trent, a legendary treasure awaits. It is said that King John himself granted a Market Charter to the town in 1200, and now, a gold coin dating back to that time has been discovered in a well on the Washlands. But with the area prone to flooding, the race is on to find the rest of the hoard before it is lost forever.

The Expedition Society has already begun their search, but they are not the only ones vying for the treasure. Can YOU outsmart the competition and follow the clues to uncover the golden hoard before anyone else?

Treasure Hunt Through Burton-on-Trent

Grab your family and friends and embark on an immersive self-guided Treasure Hunt through Burton-on-Trent. As you journey through the town, you'll discover sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, leading you closer to the location of the buried treasure.

But beware-the Trail is not without its challenges. The route follows mostly traffic-free paths and pavements, but there are a few tricky spots that will put your skills to the test.

The treasure is waiting… Are YOU ready to embark on this exciting adventure and claim the golden hoard?
