Treasure Hunt - Bristol

Bristol is a thriving, vibrant university city with a maritime heritage.

In the 18th century, Bristol was the second largest port in England. Although the bustle of international trade is long gone, the dock area is used mainly for leisure and recreation but despite this, the essential character remains. Bristol was a port long before that, in Saxon times, it was noted as being a port that traded with Ireland. The expression 'shipshape and Bristol fashion' is not heard much these days, it is believed to refer to the fact that Bristol built ships were tough and everything was carefully stowed because the tides of the river Avon are particularly high and demanding on the structure of ships that were docked there.

The Treasure Hunt ...

The Bristol treasure hunt takes place either on foot in Bristol itself or by car, to the south of the city, where you will explore the local villages in order to find the answers and complete the tasks. The car treasure hunt will require careful planning by the team before you set off, in order to collect sufficient answers and to avoid heavy time penalties.
