Follow Nelson’s Ghostly Trail

Shire Hall
October 23, 2026 – November 1, 2026
9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Come, if you dare, and search Monmouth for Nelson’s hidden Ghost ships!  

Beautifully coloured by local families, these ships have been hidden in local shops and on historical buildings, each one containing a letter to solve the missing word. 

Collect your trail map from Monmouth Community Hub from 23rd October until Sunday 1st November (subject to community hub opening times).  

Once you have completed the trail, return your completed map with the secret word to the hub to receive your treasure! 

Share your photos with us and tag us @monlifeheritage on insta or @shirehallmonmouth on Facebook and Instagram. 

This is a FREE activity created by the families of Monmouthshire with Shire Hall Museum, made possible thanks to the generous support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
