The Missing Bell of Porthmadog - Help Jack Pott Find the Treasure!
Legend has it that Davy Jones, an old seadog from the time of the slate trade, brought back a golden ship's bell from his last voyage delivering slate to Porthmadog. For years, the bell proudly adorned a steam train transporting the slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog. However, one day the bell mysteriously vanished and is still missing to this day!
Davy's great, great… grandson, Jack Pott, recently found an old notebook in the loft. This notebook contains sketches of a map and clues scribbled alongside it that could lead to the location of the missing bell. Jack needs YOUR help today to recover the golden bell! Follow the Trail, solve the Clues and find the bell so it can return to its rightful place on the Slate Railway. Good luck with your Quest…

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.
