They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

A trail of clues awaits in

Clare

Before her death in 1360, Elizabeth de Clare knew her estate would pass to someone outside of her family line. In order to keep her priceless heirlooms safe, she had them hidden on a small island off the coast of Scotland. The location has remained a secret, guarded by loyal followers waiting for the descendants of the de Clare family to reveal themselves. But now, a copy of the map has been posted on a popular treasure hunter's Instagram page, and detectorists from all over the country are flocking to the island, determined to find the de Clare valuables. As the current guardian of the clues that lead to the one true location, it is up to YOU to solve them quickly and secure the heirlooms for the rightful heirs.

The Race for the Heirlooms

Lace up your explorer boots and get ready to embark on an exciting self-guided treasure hunt-themed Trail adventure through Clare, the smallest town in Suffolk. The route will take you through the country park, the grounds of Clare Priory, and the town centre before ending back at the country park. But be prepared to scramble up and down the short but steep castle mound! Keep your eyes peeled for clues and hidden gems as you explore this quaint town.

A secret has been unearthed, and it's up to YOU to find the treasure before anyone else does!

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Clare, there are a few things you need to know...

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users due to a short but sharp climb up to the castle; however, those with pushchairs should find this manageable.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that dogs will need to be kept on leads throughout the route, and are subject to local bylaws.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Clare Castle Country Park (CO10 8NW), where your quest begins.

There are some fantastic events in Clare’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the Clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Visit Clare.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning and end of the Trail, and the route passes pubs, cafes and snack shops along the way. 

Looking for more things to do in Clare? Make a day of it and visit Clare Ancient House Museum to learn more twisting tales about the area. Or enjoy a spot of retail therapy and treat yourself to something unique from Clare’s many antique stores and independent retailers.

Mini Explorer Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
