A trail of clues awaits in
Lytham
Albie Twitching, a keen bird watcher, was exploring the Ribble estuary in Lytham when he stumbled upon a rare black-tailed godwit. But in his excitement, he failed to notice the receding tide and was stranded on the mud, like a sitting duck. Just when it seemed like his luck had run out, Albie spotted a bottle buried in the mud. Inside, he found a map and notebook containing clues to the long-lost treasure of the sunken ship, The Golden Shrimp. The answers to these clues are scattered around Lytham, waiting to be discovered by our most intrepid adventurers.

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.
