A trail of clues awaits in

Bradford-on-Avon

For generations, the town of Bradford-on-Avon has been captivated by the tale of Master Clothier Roy Corder and his scandalous departure with spinster Mildred Cotton and every penny from the mill's coffers. As the story was passed down, it grew more and more fantastical, with the belief that Roy had hidden his ill-gotten gains and never returned to retrieve them. Despite centuries of searching, the stash remained elusive. But now, a stunning tapestry has been uncovered during renovations, adorned with a map and a list of Clues. Could this be the key to finding Roy's golden hoard?

The Unravelling Yarn Treasure Hunt

Join the Exploration Society on an immersive self-guided Treasure Hunt through Bradford-on-Avon and its picturesque canals. As you follow the Trail, you'll uncover sneaky clues hidden within historic buildings, permanent features, and charming monuments.

Your adventure begins at Canal Wharf, where you'll delve into the town's industrial past and cross the river to follow the ancient packhorse way. Along the way, you'll pass by stone weavers cottages and wealthy clothiers mansions before circling back to the Kennet and Avon Canal.

The tapestry has reached us, treasure seekers… Do YOU have what it takes to unravel the yarn and uncover the buried treasure?
