It was a bright sunny day in Old Portsmouth and we were doing the treasure trail with relatives visiting from Scotland. We’ve done treasure trails before, but this was their first. They absolutely loved it! So did we. Although they have visited us in Portsmouth many times, the trail took us places we hadn’t noticed before and entertained us with historical anecdotes along the way. The clues were excellent and we all enjoyed the challenges. All doable . We stopped into The SallyPort for reviving coffees / beers along the way - very jolly and with the benefit of three floors (4?) of military antiques and other interesting objects to look at. We spent about three hours overall, with the pit stop and antiques looksee included, all on flat pavements, I definitely recommend this outing.

It was a dull February day and we wanted a family activity to do and get us out and about, this was perfect, we really enjoyed trekking about in our own time solving the clues we made the most of the pit stops, the staff were lovely and it helped us see what else there is available in the local area, we’re hoping there are a lot more of these to do in other locations!

Thoroughly enjoyed our Old Portsmouth pub and History treasure hunt. It is great that the hunt takes you to look at little jewels of interest and gives you facts about the area in which we have lived, but not known. We were able to talk to a couple of residents who were very friendly. Standing outside the school reading about the history I suddenly became aware that it might be the wrong place to stand. We would thoroughly recommend the adventure with a couple of relaxed stops at the various pubs, alcohol not mandatory
