Prince John’s Treasure Trail

Did you know that according to legend, Prince John lost all his treasure in the Cambridgeshire area in 1216? Well now is your chance to find it!

If you have already completed the two existing Adventure Trails then you are hopefully ready for something more challenging! This trail is longer, with several stages to complete and more testing puzzles to get your head around. Some of the clues need you to know the story in Caleb and the Incredible Counting Machine, so make sure you have read it first!

You need to print out the instruction sheet and the map and make your way to Coldham’s Common. Options for parking (bike or car) are given on the map.

Make sure you take a pencil with you and a ruler would also be helpful! You might also be glad of a clipboard or something to lean on.

The trail takes about one hour from either of the start points.

Let me know if you succeed!

  1. Loved doing the Treasure Trail this weekend, thank you! The instructions and clues may look a bit complicated at first but you soon get the hang of it. And it’s great to have a real treasure chest to find at the end!
