A trail of clues awaits in

Pocklington

Recently, keen local angler, Daley Caster "hooked" a treasure map hidden in a very old, sealed bottle, out of Pocklington Canal. This discovery has caused a stir of excitement in the town and the surrounding area. The map shows the location of a hoard of pirate treasure, and Daley needs YOUR help to find it before the Pocklington Amateur Treasure Seekers (PATS) locate it. Are you ready to embark on an epic adventure and solve the clues to uncover the hidden treasure?

Pocklington Piracy - A Family-Friendly Treasure Hunt

As you follow the Trail route, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Can you use your wit and cunning to decipher the clues and discover the location of the buried treasure?

The Trail starts outside Burnby Hall Gardens and takes you through this traditional market town, finishing in the cemetery. With evidence of habitation since the Bronze Age, the ancient town of Pocklington is refreshingly unspoilt by tourism and a great place to explore.
