7.41°C Professor Charles Young of the Department of Lost Historical Treasures is back, once again looking for families to help him find some hidden treasure.
Run by local author and journalist Neil D’Arcy-Jones, this summer Colchester History Quest is his third, following popular treasure walks around Colchester and the University of Essex.
Entitled The Pirates of Arlesford Creek, it takes place at Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve in July. There will also be some interesting characters to meet along the way, some who will help and some who will hinder Professor Young and his team on their quest.
Neil will be running two trails on Saturday, 2 July, and Sunday, 3 July at 2pm each day.
The cost is £5 for adults and £2.50 for children by donation. For more information, contact the Essex Wildlife Trust reserve on 01206 729678 or visit www.essexwt.org.uk.
