Just Where did Redbeard McClaytips Leave His Haul? Centuries ago, notorious sea dog Redbeard McClaytips sailed into Charlestown aboard The Black Pasty after a hard day’s plundering. He hid his stolen gold, jewels and trinkets somewhere only he could find them, then swaggered off to celebrate. By sunrise, disaster! Redbeard’s head was foggier than the harbour in a pea-souper, and his treasure map had vanished. Years later, sharp-eyed Finn Haddock fished the map from the harbour and stashed it away, where it lay forgotten for generations. Now it has reached the Exploration Society, and we need YOU to follow the Trail, recover the trove and stop Redbeard’s haul slipping beneath the waves forever. Track Down Redbeard’s Lost Treasure Trove! Embark on a self-guided Treasure Hunt through Charlestown’s historic streets, harbour and clifftop paths. Starting at Charlestown Harbour car park, you’ll hunt for clues on existing buildings, permanent features and monuments as you search for the missing loot. This circular Trail takes you from the harbour to the hilltop, through churchyard clues, along a steep stretch of Coast Path and back beside the water. Expect cobbles, narrow paths, steep sections and spectacular views as you eliminate empty map locations one by one. Can you solve the clues, outwit Redbeard’s foggy memory and uncover where his long-lost treasure trove was really hidden?
