Who Bludgeoned Ben From Blackrock?
Poor Ben O’Sullivan from Blackrock has been sadly found murdered and our stretched investigative team are struggling to close the case. His body was found dumped on the street below the ruined windmill, and the clue hunt starts here although it is considered he was murdered elsewhere.
The Blackrock Coastal Trail Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, driving murder mystery trail. It starts beside the ruined windmill at Dundalk and ends at the village of Baltry, near Drogheda.- The route includes sites spanning a broad period of history, from the invasion of the Vikings over 1100 years ago to tales from the second world war. You’ll see an old castle and ruined churches, an ancient Irish Cross on the site of a 7th Century monastery, learn about the development of tourism in Blackrock and a shipwreck further south, see some very large eggs… and more! En route is lovely coastal scenery.
- The clue route is about 46km / 26 miles, before your return to the starting point (or home). There is generally moderate walking, about 2 miles / 3 km in total (not including an optional walk at the end to the shipwreck if you wish to do this).
- Allow at least four hours to solve the case, excluding refreshment stops.
- Accessibility – walking terrain is generally quite flat, with only occasional moderate slopes and no steps.
- For refreshments, you will pass coffee shops, bars, restaurants and stores.
- Email clue help facility if you get stuck.
