The Lost Treasure of Billy Barker

Join the ranks of the most daring adventurers as you embark on a quest to uncover the lost treasure of Billy Barker. Born in Isle of Ely in 1817, Barker was famous for finding a lot of gold in British Columbia. But his fortune was never found, until now!

According to legend, a treasure map and a set of scrawled instructions, believed to have belonged to the infamous pirate Captain Jake Starling, have surfaced in a local museum. The Exploration Society has been tasked with finding the trove, and we need YOU - our TOP Adventurers - to follow the clues and pinpoint the hoard's hiding place.

The Golden Fortunes of Billy Barker

Get ready for an action-packed adventure through the historic town of March, known for its rich history and earlier settlement of Mercheford. This self-guided treasure hunt will take you on a circular walk, starting and finishing at the museum on High Street.

As you explore the town, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. With your sharp mind and keen sense of adventure, can you solve the clues and discover the location of Billy Barker's elusive treasure?

The treasure awaits, adventurer… Will YOU be the one to claim it?
