Saintfield

Who Slaughtered Shaun in Saintfield?

Shaun Magill has been sadly slain in the historical small town of Saintfield and our best investigators need your help to confirm their suspicions about the murder. Although his body was found at the ruins of the old windmill, we believe this was not where the murder was committed.
  • The Saintfield Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, walking murder mystery trail.
  • Along the clue route you will come across quite a number of old buildings in this quaint village and also learn about its turbulent history, especially in the memorial garden, spanning hundreds of years.
  • The clue route is 1 ¾ miles / 2 ¾ km. It starts/ends in the car park on Downpatrick Street which is signposted at a crossroads.
  • This Whodunit Hunt has 27 clues and the booklet contains extra historical and tourist information not seen elsewhere in the village.
  • The recommended time for this murder mystery is around two hours, excluding any stops for refreshment. The National Trust’s Rowallane Gardens is at the village outskirts nearby if you have time to extend your stay here.
  • Accessibility – the route is generally fairly flat, with only moderate inclines.
  • Refreshments – there are a number of cafes, coffee shops, convenience stores in Saintfield as well as the old White Horse Inn.
