Colm O’Brien has been found murdered in the village of Rossglass and our best investigator is struggling to narrow down leads. We need your help to confirm their suspicions and crack the case! It is believed that Colm was murdered outside of the village and so the clue trail starts near Newcastle, at the ancient Maghera Church and Round Tower site.

Also enjoy beautiful coastal scenery and learn about characters who shaped the area’s history.
  • Generally moderate walking, about 3 miles / 5 km in total spread across all of the clues. Sensible shoes necessary (e.g. trainers) for the walk to the stone circle clue.

Slieve Croob Trail

Who Slayed Steve Crook In The Slieve Croob Area?

Steve Crook has been found murdered in the Slieve Croob area where he loved to walk, and although we know his surname is quite appropriate his petty crimes didn’t deserve such a gruesome end. Although his body was found dumped at the Slieve Croob car park it’s not clear that he was murdered here…
  • The Slieve Croob Trail is a self-guided driving Whodunit Hunt that starts near Castlewellan and ends at the old market town of Ballynahinch.
  • You’ll discover many historic places on this murder mystery trail as well as beautiful scenery.

  • The driving route is 32 miles / 51 km.
  • There is generally moderate walking, about 2 ¼ miles / 3 ¼ km in total.
  • Allow four hours to solve this murder mystery.
  • Accessibility – the walking terrain is generally fairly flat, but a few clues require reasonable mobility. Take a torch if you fancy going on an Indiana Jones type adventure during this clue hunt!
