Patrick Kavanagh Trail

Who Critically Injured Ian From Inniskeen?

Ian O’Mally from Inniskeen was found dumped beside the road outside Carrickmacross and died from his injuries. Our best investigation team are struggling to connect their leads and need your help to solve the murder.
  • The Patrick Kavanagh Trail is a self-guided, driving murder mystery trail. This Whodunit Hunt starts on the outskirts of Dundalk and ends nearby.
  • You’ll see historic sights over 800 years old, including a round tower, several castles, and an impressive ancient abbey. There are several stops associated with famous Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh too, both in Inniskeen where he is buried and beyond. Also learn about the evolution of the area and some of the historic figures that shaped it.
  • The clue route is 35 miles, or about 56 km. There is generally moderate walking for most clues, with approximately 3.0 miles / 4.5 km in total.
  • There are 30 clues to solve and we suggest allowing at least four hours to complete this Whodunit Hunt, excluding prolonged refreshment stops.
  • Accessibility – once out of the car the terrain is generally quite flat, with only occasional moderate slopes; there are no steps.
  • For refreshments, you will pass a number of bars, coffee shops, restaurants and a tearoom along the route as well as shops.
