Donaghadee - Town, Motte and Harbour

A Curious Case of Puffins, Plunder… and a Very Peculiar Teapot

Donaghadee's peaceful harbour hides a salty old secret...

Whispers of a long-lost vault, an eccentric salt-encrusted character known only as Captain Stewart "Soggy Boots" Browne and a suspiciously jam-stained treasure map have recently resurfaced thanks to a sharp-eyed local librarian. There are rumours of smugglers' gold, ghostly puffins and a Treasure Trail more tangled than seaweed in a storm.

But is it all local legend... or is there really glittering gold buried beneath Donaghadee's cobbles?

A Brilliant Day Out by the Sea

Leave the bustle of Belfast behind and head to the coast for an adventure packed with puzzles, piratey nonsense, and family-friendly fun. This self-guided Treasure Hunt Trail will lead you around Donaghadee's iconic sights - from the lighthouse and harbour to hidden corners and coastal views - all while unravelling a light-hearted mystery that's full of surprises.

It's the perfect daytrip for curious minds and seaside explorers alike. Just don't trust the puffins...
