The Lost Loot of Halfdene the Dane - Join the Hunt Now!

Embrace your inner adventurer and embark on a thrilling treasure hunt through the charming town of Hexham. Recent excavations near Hexham Abbey have uncovered a casket buried by the notorious Viking, Halfdene the Dane, in 875. But what's more intriguing is the treasure map hidden within the casket's lining, revealing the locations of Halfdene's ill-gotten gains.

As the Danish historian, Vi King, believes, the map will lead to the stash of treasure Halfdene accumulated from his past ventures. But the map is incomplete, and the Exploration Society needs the help of top adventurers to follow the clues and uncover the lost loot. Are you ready to take on the challenge?

Discover the Secrets of Hexham

Get ready for a fun, family-friendly, and self-guided Treasure Hunt Trail through the charming town of Hexham. As you follow the Trail route, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

Get your family and friends together and join the hunt for Halfdene's lost loot. The Exploration Society is counting on you!
