Uncover the Hidden Treasure of Redbeard McClaytips!

Over 200 years ago, the infamous pirate Redbeard McClaytips dropped anchor in Charlestown after a hard day of looting. In true pirate fashion, he buried his treasure somewhere in the town and celebrated his haul in the local taverns. But when he woke up the next morning, he couldn't remember where he had hidden it. To make matters worse, his map of the potential burial spots had blown away while he was drunk!

The map was later found by a local lad who passed it down through generations before it was sent to the Exploration Society. Now, it's up to YOU, our top adventurers, to follow the clues and uncover the location of the lost treasure trove left behind by Redbeard McClaytips!

Track Down Redbeard's Lost Treasure Trove!

Embark on an exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt through the historic town and harbour of Charlestown. Journey through the streets and follow the sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to unravel the mystery of the buried treasure.

Starting at the Charlestown Harbour car park, the trail will take you around the charming town, culminating in the picturesque harbour and Shipwreck centre. Keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you as you piece together the clues and discover the location of Redbeard's lost treasure trove!
