There's treasure in them thar hills!

Get the family galloping to Cave Hill this summer on our gold and silver trails - where there’s no end to highwayman history and intrigue.

This is an exciting treasure hunt that you can do in your own time, with your own family and it runs all over July and August.

There are two trails, one just less than four miles and taking in the best of Cave Hill, while the shorter trail is perfect for younger families.

These treasure trails will open a whole new world of exploration and fun - it's your money or your life!

The treasure trail maps are produced by Belfast Hills Partnership and Belfast City Council, and are free.

Stand and Deliver!

According to myth the highwayman managed to snatch the precious acorn from Lady Donegall when she visited her husband’s new deer park on Cave Hill all those years ago!
He finally fell foul of the authorities, but where his treasure, including the silver acorn, was buried, no one knows - O’Haughan took his secrets to the grave when he was executed.
Some instructions and an old map are all that remain to help you find the secret stash on Cave Hill and locate the highwayman’s hidden hoard!

You can search further for more of Naoise O’Haughan’s 18th century loot over at Carnmoney Hill.
