Portpatrick

Legend has it that Phil Mapockets, a renowned 19th century salvage expert, left behind a hidden treasure in the small coastal town of Portpatrick. After years of searching, the Intrepid Explorers Society (IES) has finally uncovered a set of puzzling clues that could lead to the long-lost treasure. Are you ready to join the adventure and see if you can find Phil's fantastic fortune?

Can You Feasibly Find Phil's Fantastic Fortune?

Explore the charming town of Portpatrick on this self-guided walking adventure that is perfect for families and friends. As you follow the Trail, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, landmarks, and monuments. The Trail starts at the harbour and takes you on a journey through the town, past the sports park, bowling and putting greens, and Main Street. You'll also visit the ruins of St Patrick's Church and the lighthouse, before heading towards the Dunskey Castle path and returning to the Lifeboat Station.

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.
