St Dennis & Roche - Church & Roche Rock

The Legend of Ogrin's Secret Stash Spot

Cornwall, land of legends and myths, is full of twisting tales and treasure troves. One precious hoard is believed to have passed through the hands of Ogrin, a hermit who lived in his refuge at Roche Rock. The story goes that, during Arthurian times, Ogrin became involved in the doomed love affair between Tristan and Iseult. Ogrin was entrusted by Tristan to hide his most valuable possessions before he escaped his pursuers with his dramatic leap from Chapel Point near Mevagissey. Legend says that Ogrin hid the treasures in a secret location before retreating to his chapel in the rock, never to be seen again.

Recently, a group of brave climbers recovered a weathered map tucked away in the rock. The Exploration Society has received the document, and we need help from YOU - our TOP treasure seekers - to follow the curious Clues and pinpoint the lost loot. Good luck!
