The Lost Spanish Gold of Hayfield

Legend has it that when the Spanish Armada invaded England in the 16th century, they made it all the way to Hayfield. But the brave soldiers of the Hayfield Militia scared them off, and the Spanish fleet retreated, leaving behind a mysterious treasure map.

Centuries later, curious curators at Derby Museum discovered the map hidden in their archives. It revealed the location of the Spanish fleet's buried gold bullion in the Sett Valley, along with clues to its exact whereabouts. Now, the Exploration Society has sent YOU, their top adventurer, on a mission to follow the map, solve the clues, and find the lost Spanish gold.

Treasure Hunt Through Hayfield and Beyond

Embark on a family-friendly, self-guided treasure hunt through the picturesque countryside and village of Hayfield. As you follow the trail, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while taking in the scenic views of the surrounding area.

The adventure begins across the main road from the charming village of Hayfield, winding through the village and back streets, and venturing into the quiet countryside nearby. The route then returns to the cricket ground before ending at the central village square, where you'll finally discover the location of the lost Spanish gold.

Are you ready to embark on this exciting quest and uncover the hidden treasure of Hayfield?
