Who Bashed Brian In Ballycastle?
Brian Duffy has been found murdered at Ballycastle and, with a mounting caseload, we need your help to solve the case. Brian’s body was found at the ferry terminal but no evidence was found near the body so we think he was killed elsewhere and left here to confuse detectives. Start searching for evidence at the harbour car park and see where the clues take you…
New launch for June 2025!
The Ballycastle Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided murder mystery trail on foot.
- Explore Ballycastle and you’ll find it is so much more than a seaside town! Did you know that it used to have a glass factory and a big coal mining industry? Or that Ireland’s first railway was built nearby? You can discover so much about the history of the town on this murder mystery trail, see a number of historic buildings, enjoy a river walk… and more!
- The clue route is almost 1 ½ miles / 2 ½ km. It starts at the harbour car park beside the visitor centre and ends near the Diamond – see map below.
- This Whodunit booklet is packed with over 30 clues to solve as well as several pieces of extra historical and tourist information not seen en route.
- The recommended time to complete this murder mystery is at least two hours, excluding refreshment stops.
- Accessibility – the route is generally fairly flat, with only moderate inclines (one short and steeper one) and no steps.

Walking Whodunit Hunts are our single-location murder mystery trails where you explore a village or an area of a town or city in search of clues to solve a crime. All have a significant amount of history to uncover, show you some grand and impressive architecture, and many will reveal quite surprising facts linked to both places and the people that shaped them!
