Among her possessions was a weathered map, signed by her ancestor Robbie Yergold, one of the infamous 'Naked Highwaymen of The Great Bath Road'! Convinced that this map holds the key to recovering stolen treasures from centuries ago, Heidi's solicitors have enlisted the help of the Exploration Society. But they need YOU - our top treasure seekers - to follow the route around Chippenham, crack the curious clues, and unearth the hidden hoard. Are you ready for an adventure like no other?

The Naked Highwaymen of The Great Bath Road
