The Mysterious Disappearance of Captain Frenchie Creek
In 1718, the notorious pirate Captain Francis 'Frenchie' Creek retired to his home on the Helford River with chests of gold as his pension fund. But just as he was settling into his retirement, he mysteriously vanished, leaving behind only a treasure map and clues to the location of his hidden hoard.
Now, the Exploration Society needs your help to follow the curious clues and uncover the pirate's lost treasure. Are YOU ready for an exciting adventure through the riverside route from St Keverne to Helford?
