Usk - Roman Sites & River

The Missing Treasure Chest - Join the Hunt and Find the Treasure!

Green-fingered Rose Bush, the manager of a garden centre at Usk, loves growing rare plants. Recently, she acquired some seeds from a rare flower species found only on the highest peak of the highest mountain range in Northern China. Usk would certainly win Wales in Bloom again if these flowers made their way into the local gardens! To keep the seeds safe, Rose stored them in an ornamental chest displayed in the garden centre. Imagine her horror when Rose found the treasure chest had disappeared! Could a rival gardener have pinched them in the hope of getting the Town of Flowers title for themselves? All seemed lost until Rose unearthed a map and some curious Clues tucked between the lilies and the orchids. The Exploration Society has been called in to help - we need TOP Explorers (YOU!) to follow the Clues and track down the treasure trove.
