The Mysterious Disappearance of Barnacle Bill's Booty
Barnard Castle was once home to the legendary pirate, Barnacle Bill. He was known for his daring adventures and his love for treasure. But when he set out on his latest voyage, something went terribly wrong. His beloved booty, hidden in a secret location, has gone missing!
But all hope is not lost. The Barnard Extraordinary Explorer Society (BEES) has discovered a mysterious box containing a map and a series of clues. Now, it's up to YOU to bravely bring back Barnacle Bill's boundless booty!
Treasure Hunt Through Barnard Castle
Embark on an immersive self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming town of Barnard Castle and its picturesque riverside. Starting at Witham Hall on Market Place, your adventure will take you on a journey through the town, passing by the castle, the Bowes Museum, and many hidden nooks and crannies along the way.
As you follow the trail of clues, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky hints hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Will YOU be the one to solve the mystery and return Barnacle Bill's booty to its rightful place?

Please Note:
This is a walking Trail exploring the historic town of Barnard Castle. It follows pavements, quiet roads and paths, one across a grassy area so suitable footwear is advised. There is car parking in the centre of Barnard Castle with a car park just off Queen Street (DL12 8GB).
There are many places to choose from for refreshments along the Trail. The Bowes Museum has its own cafe, and there are many other excellent cafes, tea-rooms and pubs along the route. Public toilets are available during the day on Market Place.
There are also plenty of opportunities to extend your day out in Barnard Castle by visiting the castle and Bowes Museum (the Trail passes both but entrance fees are applicable).
Eye testing is optional.
