Who Fatally Hurt Harry In Holywood?
Harry Woods has alas been found murdered in Holywood, North Down, and our over-worked investigator needs your help to bring the case to a close. We recommend you start your search for clues at Holywood’s historic priory, as his body was found there; however, detectives think the body was left there to confuse us and believe the murder was carried out elsewhere.
The Holywood Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, walking murder mystery trail.- Much of Holywood is designated a conservation area, preserving grand 19th Century architecture that resulted from wealthy industrialists and merchants moving here after the railway opened in 1848. Along the clue trail you’ll come across many historic buildings, including of course the ruined priory; the only maypole on the island of Ireland is here too!
- The route is only 1¼ miles / 2 km, and fairly flat too, perfect even for those who don’t want to walk so much. The clue trail starts/ends at the priory (see map below).
- Whodunit Hunt booklet packed with nearly 30 clues to solve as well as several pieces of extra historical trivia.
- Allow 1½ hours to solve this murder mystery. Extend your visit here with a refreshment stop at one of Holywood’s great coffee shops, cafes, or restaurants.
- Accessibility – this is a generally quite flat route, although some streets have moderate inclines.
- Email clue help facility if you get stuck.
