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.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Padstow (Lannwedhenek), there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail has not been marked as accessible for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to sections without pavements, some uneven stony paths and hills along the route.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that the town centre can get very busy, so please keep your dog on a lead throughout the Trail.
The closest pay and display car parks to this Trail's start point are located at The Railway Car Park (PL28 8DA) or The Harbour Commissioners (PL28 8AQ). A park and ride service is available through the summer months from the entrance to Padstow (just before Tesco), which conveniently drops you at the start of the Trail! Parking availability is restricted during Padstow Christmas Festival. Please visit the festival website for the dates they will be in Padstow this year.
May Day - or Obby Oss Day - is held annually on 1st May in Padstow (or 2nd May if the 1st falls on a Sunday) and is the busiest day in Padstow's calendar. Though it is a fantastic time to visit Padstow, many of the clues may be obscured or difficult to access. We recommend checking for any events before you set off on your investigation.
There are public toilets available at the start point of the Trail and between Clues 14 and 15. The route passes several pubs, restaurants and a few cafes from Clue 15 onwards, and there is a fantastic picnic spot (with spectacular views) around Clue 11!
Looking for more things to do in Padstow? Make a day of it and visit Prideaux Place or the Padstow Museum to learn more about Padstow's heritage. You could even take in the beautiful scenery on the South West Coast Path (near Clue 11) or challenge yourself to a bike ride along the Camel Trail (near Clue 01).
