Who Murdered Maeve From Maynooth?
Maeve O’Mahony from Maynooth has alas been found murdered. Although Maeve’s body was found at Maynooth Castle we’re not at all sure that the murder was committed here and so the evidence trail starts at the Bodenstown Graveyard. We hope you can help us to conclude this ghastly murder mystery.
This Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, driving murder mystery trail. It starts between Sallins and Clane and ends at Maynooth… hence the trail name.- Start by seeing the memorial stone of a key figure in Ireland’s drive for independence. En-route you’ll see the ruins of an impressive friary, two sites where monasteries were founded over 1,300 years ago, a town involved in Ireland’s past cotton industry, assorted historical sites in Maynooth… and more!
