The Lost Treasure of Pirate Pete Nevrow - Can YOU Find the Spanish Gold?
For centuries, the coastal town of Portrush has been known as a popular fishing village and seaside resort. But what many don't know is that over 350 years ago, it was the site of a legendary battle between rival pirate crews. The infamous pirate ship 'Golden Princess' was carrying chests of stolen Spanish gold when it ran aground off the coast. As the crew fled, one survivor, Pirate Pete Nevrow, was captured by the local militia, but he never revealed the location of his hidden hoard. Now, the Exploration Society of Portrush is calling on YOU to help find the lost treasure!
Treasure Hunt Through the Seaside Resort of Portrush
Get ready for an exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt that will take you on a journey through the winding streets, along the seafront, and past the top attractions of Portrush. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden treasure and rival explorers as you follow the cleverly crafted clues scattered throughout the town.
Start your adventure at the Harbour Amusement Park, where the Golden Princess is said to have first appeared. From there, you'll make your way through Barry's Amusements, the Portrush Heritage Trail, and the Portrush Coastal Path, all while searching for the ill-gotten gains of Pirate Pete Nevrow.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Portrush (Tha Port/Port Rois), there are a few things you need to know...
The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at the Dunluce Centre on Sandhill Drive (BT56 8BF), just a five-minute walk away.
We recommend checking for any outdoor events in Portrush’s calendar before setting off on your adventure, as some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions.
There are public toilets available towards Clue 05 and after Clue 12. There are refreshment stops and snack shops near the Trail start point, a play area after Clue 11, and picnic and barbecue facilities between Clues 12 and 13.
