Treasure Map Trails

Treasure Map Trails are fantasy-themed treasure maps of towns and cities across the UK, specially designed for children aged 5 to 12.. There are 50 maps in total, including 18 in a new folded style that we introduced in April 2022.

Each printed map gets families outdoors and exploring local places by taking young explorers on a search for landmarks such as statues, gargoyles and carvings. As they search for the treasures, kids need to stop and look up, down and all around, so they see familiar locations in a totally new way.

Maps are fantasy-themed and beautifully illustrated to fire young imaginations, with town and city centres transformed into brightly coloured, exciting destinations.

The back of every map is packed with information about the location and treasures, so they are a great introduction to local history for children.

The new format maps are larger than A3, but they fold down to pocket-size so they are easy to carry round. Plus, they are laminated to handle the rigours of wind, rain and sticky fingers.

Adventures take around 90 minutes to complete if families do the treasure hunt in one go, or they can be combined with picnics, museum visits, shopping trips, sightseeing or playground visits for a full day of adventure.

And when children have completed their challenge, they can download one of five different finisher's certificates to show their progress through the Treasure Map Trails Adventurer's Academy.

There are currently 50 adventures to choose from, for cities including London, Oxford, Brighton and Liverpool, and towns such as Cheltenham, Hay-on-Wye, St Albans and Stratford-upon-Avon. We’re always working on new maps and we add new locations regularly.

We get great feedback from families, with 100 five-star reviews across Facebook and Google.
