Who Buried Henrietta In Royal Hillsborough?

The body of poor Henrietta Holmes was unearthed by a curious dog beside Hillsborough Lake, but detectives believe she was murdered elsewhere and possibly outside the village of Royal Hillsborough. With a big case load, our chief detective is stressed and desperately needs your help to conclude the case.
  • This is a self-guided, near-circular driving Whodunit Hunt, starting in Royal Hillsborough and ending a few miles away.
  • On your clue hunt you’ll see historic buildings, strange creatures in the forest, and select sites associated with famous inventor and pioneer Harry Ferguson who was born in the area. You’ll learn about the history of Hillsborough too, spanning hundreds of years, see an ancient fort site with roots dating back over 1000 years… and more!
  • The clue route is 23 miles / 37 km long. There is nearly 2 ¾ / 4 ¼ km of walking in total, 2/3 of this in Royal Hillsborough and its forest with the rest spread across the remaining clues. Sensible shoes are suggested.
  • It is recommended to allow 3-4 hours to solve this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops.
  • Accessibility – there are no steps to navigate, but some slopes, especially a steepish hill in Royal Hillsborough.
  • There are assorted places for refreshment; our recommendations would be in the many offerings of Royal Hillsborough.
