We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.

PLEASE NOTE - This Trail used to be the Weymouth Town Centre & Seafront Trail but has had a major rewrite in April 2025.


Before you dive into your claw-some case in Weymouth, here are a few handy tips...

Easy to Navigate – This coastal caper is fully accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs, following pavements, pedestrianised zones and well-maintained paths. There are a couple of short slopes and some steps at the end, but alternative step-free routes are provided wherever needed.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks – Most of the Trail weaves through Weymouth’s historic streets and harbourside. There aren't many green spaces on the way but you have the beach where your four-legged friends might get a sniff-tastic moment. Just check local signage/byelaws before letting them loose.

Parking Sorted! – There are great options close to the start at Hope Square:

  • Weymouth Old Town (West) car park (DT4 8LS) – just behind Brewers Quay

  • Nothe Car Park (DT4 8UD) – cheaper and only a 10-minute stroll away

  • Further info here


Need the Loo? – Facilities available at:

  • Hope Street toilets – near the start point

  • Maiden Street toilets - near Clue 08

  • Various town centre cafes and pubs – some are customer-only, but perfect for a mid-mystery brew!

Want to Make a Day of It?


Discover Weymouth’s Past – Pop into Weymouth Museum (currently closed for renovation), nestled in the historic Brewers Quay, to uncover tales of shipwrecks, seaside holidays and smugglers. You can also stroll along the heritage trail for a glimpse into the town’s maritime past.

Step Back in Time – Just a short wander away you’ll find Nothe Fort, a Victorian coastal defence packed with tunnels, cannons, and stories of wartime Weymouth. Or head across the bay to explore the ruins of Sandsfoot Castle.

Seasonal Events – Look out for events on Weymouth Beach, the Pavilion, and along the harbourside – from pirate parades to seafood festivals, there’s often something going on. Don’t miss the Firework Nights in summer or the Dorset Seafood Festival if you’re lucky with the timing. Check here for what's coming up!

Happy Birthday, Weymouth! – 2025 marks 450 years since Queen Elizabeth I united Weymouth and Melcombe Regis – expect some shell-ebrations around the harbourside!
