They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We were a group of 3 generations between 17 and 70ish – you really don't need to have children with you to enjoy these trails.

The Details


Please Note:

This Trail has been written with younger pirates in mind! All the Clues have a picture to find enabling pre-readers to join in the search and be able to get involved with many of the easier Clues on this Trail, with guidance and help from adults or older siblings. Adults will need to help out with the directions and reading, but the whole family will be able to work together to find the 'treasure'.

The route is wholly within Valley Gardens so there are no roads to cross. The paths are wide with slight slopes in parts. Please note that scooters and bicycles are not allowed. Skateboards are allowed in the skatepark area only.

There is a playground, a cafe and public toilets within the park. There are also plenty of benches for a picnic.

Mini Explorer Club

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.
