A trail of clues awaits in
Nunney
In 1645, the small town of Shepton Mallet fell to the Parliamentary forces, leaving Nunney Castle vulnerable. Fearing for the safety of his vast hoard of "Diamonds" - coins named after their shape - castle owner Col. Prater devised a cunning plan to hide them from the enemy. Rumour has it that he escaped through a secret tunnel and buried the treasure somewhere in the village, leaving behind a weathered map of potential burial spots. The document, along with a set of cryptic clues, has recently been discovered by the Exploration Society, and we need YOUR help to uncover the whereabouts of the Nunney Diamonds!
