The Hunt for Peggy Patch's Treasure
Aha, me hearties! Have ye heard about Peggy Patch? She was a scary one-eyed pirate who sailed her ship, The Pirate Rose, many years ago, plundering ports and ships for treasures. After her last voyage, she sailed up the river to Shrewsbury and is thought to have buried her treasure in the local area. But with her capture and imprisonment in Dara Prison, her fortune has never been found.
But now, following the closure of the prison in 2013, a treasure map with clues to the whereabouts of Peggy's treasure has been discovered. It's time to put on your pirate hats, weigh anchor, and explore the town to solve the clues and track down the booty. But beware, modern-day buccaneers may also be on the hunt for the treasure!

Please Note:
Unfortunately the Trail route does encounter some steps, which means it isn't marked as wheelchair or pushchair friendly. However, only a couple of the clues require you to tackle a few steps, so are probably doable with a light pushchair.
Why not match this with our other Trail, Darwin's Shrewsbury that explores the Dingle gardens and riverside to make a whole day of exploring this fascinating location?
