A trail of clues awaits in

Newent

Legend has it that the beautiful Golden Triangle was once home to an abundance of wild daffodils. But could there be more to this story? As you explore the area, you'll soon discover that there may be a hidden treasure waiting to be unearthed.

According to local gardener, Teresa Green, a map and set of clues were recently unearthed while she was tending to her garden. After careful examination by The Exploration Society, it was determined that the map belonged to none other than Dick Whittington himself. It's believed that this map holds the key to his golden hoard, and it's up to YOU and your team of adventurers to follow the clues and uncover the treasure's location!
