The Mysterious Case of the Kidnapped Pirate - Can YOU Solve the Clues?
It's time to don your detective hat and get ready for an exciting adventure through the historic town of Poole. Legendary pirate, Harry Paye, is celebrated each year during the Hey! Don't Delay So Harry Paye Day festival, when landlubbers descend on the town to do lots of pirate-y stuff. But this year, things have taken a dark turn. Professional costumier, Cam O'Flarge, who always wins the fancy dress competition, has gone missing!
Chief Inspector Buck Kinnear is stumped, as everyone in the town is dressed as a pirate. Can YOU help him solve the mystery and set Cam free?
Detective Mystery Through Poole - Cockle Trail & Town
Super sleuths, we need your help! Your self-guided detective mystery will have you patrolling along part of the Historic Cockle Trail, investigating the old town and the quayside. Keep an eye out for the life-sized bronze statue of Lord Baden Powell staring out over Poole Harbour to the Island of Brownsea, home of the Boy Scout movement.
As you follow the clues, you'll unravel a sneaky plot to kidnap Cam and frame one of his fellow fancy dressers. But with everyone dressed as a pirate, it won't be easy to pinpoint the culprit. Are YOU up for the challenge?
Can you get a patch for catching a kidnapper? Join the adventure and find out!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Poole, there are a few things you need to know…
The route is okay for pushchairs but due to kerbs, narrow pavements and bollards, wheelchairs users would struggle to get around.
There may be clues on this route in areas where dogs are prohibited, so we suggest that you only bring your four-legged friends along if a member of your squad is able to wait with them in those locations.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is the Quay Visitors car park on Castle Street (BH15 1SB), where your investigation begins.
There are some fantastic events in Poole’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this seaside resort. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for any events before setting off.
There are public toilets available close to Clue 02, and the route passes several shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafes along the way, particularly around the quay.
Looking for more things to do in Poole? Make a day of it and visit Poole Museum to learn more about the local history, or tackle another investigation with the Poole Park Trail.
