A trail of clues awaits in

Portreath

Infamous buccaneer Cruss T C Gull and his grog-soaked gang have once again struck the Cornish coast, luring a Spanish galleon full of golden dubloons onto the treacherous shores of Gull Rock. But this time, they've gone too far-they've stolen all the booty and buried it somewhere in the village of Portreath!

Witnessed by the villagers, the pillagers escaped during a mighty westerly gale, leaving behind only a map and a list of cryptic clues. The Exploration Society has done all they can to solve the mystery, but they need the help of top treasure seekers like YOU to crack the case and return the stolen treasure to its rightful owners.

Treasure Hunt Through Portreath - Fun for the Whole Family!

Are you in search of a fun and family-friendly adventure? Look no further than this self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming village of Portreath. As you follow the Trail route, you'll have the opportunity to solve sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while exploring the historic and scenic Cornish coastline.

Discover the deep ties between Portreath and the local tin mining industry as you unravel the cryptic clues that will lead you to the hidden location of Cruss T C Gull's ill-gotten plunder. But beware, the trail won't be easy-only the most daring and clever treasure seekers will be able to pinpoint the exact spot where the treasure is buried.

Join the adventure and help return the stolen treasure to its rightful owners!

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail has not been marked as pushchair friendly as there are several stretches that are along narrow roads with no pavements, as well as a short, narrow footpath section.

A steep hill is encountered towards the end of the Trail - but the views from the top make the climb worthwhile!

There are public toilets available near to the start point of the Trail and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.

Why not make a day of it and enjoy the Trail in the morning - then make use of the great beach and its nearby facilities for the rest of the day!

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.
