The Lost Treasure of the Long Mynd - A Family Adventure in Church Stretton

Deep in the heart of the Shropshire Hills, just outside the quaint town of Church Stretton, lies a legendary hoard of missing Anglo Saxon gold coins. For years, treasure seekers have scoured the Long Mynd in search of this elusive prize, but to no avail. That is until Dee Scover, a keen-eyed volunteer at the local library, stumbled upon an ancient map that could hold the key to the treasure's whereabouts.

Assemble your most intrepid explorers (that means YOU!) and join us on an immersive journey through the rolling hills and charming villages of Church Stretton. Follow the map, solve the clues, and unearth the long-lost treasure of the Long Mynd!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Please Note:

The Trail starts in a pay and display car park where there are toilets.

There is one steep hill, but it isn't very long. Light pushchairs should manage this without too much trouble. If arriving in Church Stretton by train, the Trail can be started half way through as there are a couple of clues at the station.

At the time of writing it was £2.40 for up to four hours in the car park, £3.60 for all day and free on Sundays.
