The Legendary Neath Smuggler's Secret Stash - Can YOU Uncover the Treasure?

Join the Expedition Society as we set out to solve the mystery of the legendary Neath smuggler, Annie Horde. According to local legends, Annie was the mastermind behind one of the most notorious smuggling gangs in the 19th century. After their arrest and transportation to Australia, their ill-gotten gains were lost… until now!

Thanks to Digger Horde, the great-great-grandson of the gangs' leader, we have a crinkled old treasure map all the way from Melbourne! The map contains a list of clues and potential locations, pointing to Annie's legendary lost loot. But we need YOU - the most intrepid explorers - to help us track down the treasure trove. Are you up for the challenge?

The Neath Smugglers' Treasure Hunt

Are you looking for a fun day out with family and friends? Look no further than this self-guided treasure hunt through the historic and scenic town of Neath. As you follow the trail, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. But be warned - this trail is not for the faint of heart!

Discover the town's fascinating Roman roots and explore the ancient castle as you work your way through the clues. Can YOU solve the riddles and uncover Annie's long-lost treasure?

The Expedition Society is counting on YOU - are you ready for an adventure like no other?
