Short On Time? Try A Taster Trail!
Ever thought of trying a Whodunit Hunt but always short on time or weren’t sure how much you’d enjoy it? Or wondered if you’d be ‘good enough’ to solve a case… which really doesn’t matter? Then try one of our new taster trails! We’ve specifically designed them to take no more than 90 minutes to complete with walking routes of less than a mile.
We’ve just launched two walking taster trails, our Europa Trail in Belfast and the Newry Taster Trail. There’s still 17-18 clues to solve (rather less than the 30+ clues in our standard length trails in these cities) and you’ll get to see interesting places, learn about historic sites and people encountered along the routes, and discover something new! We’ll give you help with two clues if you get stuck. Taster trails are only half the price of a standard walking trail at a bargain price of only £3.50!!
We’re planning a driving taster trail too, and hope to launch it later this year.
So try one of these taster trails and see if you’d like more of our kind of fun… definitely something different to do, for sure!

Ballykeel dolmen dates back around 5,500 years to 3,500 BC! It’s a great example of a tripod dolmen (or portal tomb) and is of the same type as the Legananny Dolmen (that can be seen on our Slieve Croob Whodunit Hunt in County Down) which is only a mile or two from Slieve Croob mountain.
Ballykeel Dolmen was only excavated in 1965 and had to be partially re-erected during excavations in 1965 that had begun two years earlier because the large capstone on top had fallen. Those investigations indicated that the tomb had been previously disturbed and, likely, some items taken – however, it still unearthed three highly decorated ‘Ballyalton’ bowls, hundreds of shards of pottery and some flint tools including a javelin head. High levels of phosphates found on the chamber floor confirm it was used for ancient burials.
This dolmen was at the southern end of a large cairn that measured approximately 10 * 30 metres. Most of this cairn has, with age, unsurprisingly disappeared but two parallel lines of stones can still clearly be seen. When it was originally built it would have had the appearance of that shown in the reconstruction photo below:
Known locally as ‘The Hag’s Chair’, the cairn is associated with the Cailleach, the mythical goddess of Winter. Legend has it that she would fly down from her home on Slieve Gullion to sit on the dolmen at Ballykeel, which served as her throne. Sacred rituals and ceremonies were likely performed here in ancient times.
