Hayfield - Countryside & Village

The Lost Spanish Gold of Hayfield

Legend has it that when the Spanish Armada invaded England in the 16th century, they made it all the way to Hayfield. But the brave soldiers of the Hayfield Militia scared them off, and the Spanish fleet retreated, leaving behind a mysterious treasure map.

Centuries later, curious curators at Derby Museum discovered the map hidden in their archives. It revealed the location of the Spanish fleet's buried gold bullion in the Sett Valley, along with clues to its exact whereabouts. Now, the Exploration Society has sent YOU, their top adventurer, on a mission to follow the map, solve the clues, and find the lost Spanish gold.
