Ancient East Churches Trail

Who Killed Kevin From Kingscourt?

Kevin King from Kingscourt has been found murdered and our chief investigator needs your help to solve the crime. Although his body was found at Bailieborough square, we think he may have been murdered elsewhere. So the trail for clues starts at Kingscourt, where he lived.
  • This Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, driving murder mystery trail. It starts at Kingscourt and ends at the unique tin church of Laragh.
  • The Ancient East Churches trail visits a variety of historic spots in Counties Cavan and Monaghan. See pretty churches, enjoy a lovely forest walk, explore the main street of Ballybay, learn about historic Bailieborough town and an ancient fair, see beautiful lakes, an unusual statue of an elk… and more!
  • We’ve squeezed nearly 30 clues into a booklet with lots of historical information included so that you get to know a little more about the places visited.
  • The route is 78 km / 49 miles.
  • The total walking distance spread across all of the clue stops is 5 ¾ km / 3 ½ miles. This includes a lovely woodland walk of 2 ½ km / 1 ½ miles at Bailieborough Demesne – if could use two of your clue helps instead of walking this distance if desired… though in the spring the bluebells are beautiful here.
  • Allow 4-5 hours to complete this Whodunit Hunt, excluding extended refreshment stops… a great value day out!
  • Accessibility – the walking terrain is fairly flat, with mostly moderate slopes. Reasonable mobility is required to do the forest walk. Alternative routes can be found around steps.
  • Email clue help facility if you get stuck.
