Slieve Croob Trail

Who Slayed Steve Crook In The Slieve Croob Area??

Steve Crook has been found murdered in the Slieve Croob area, and although we know his surname is quite appropriate his petty crimes didn’t deserve such a gruesome end. Although his body was found dumped at the Slieve Croob car park it’s not clear that he was murdered here and the clue trail starts on the Castlewellan Road east of Rathfriland.
  • The Slieve Croob Trail is a self-guided, non-circular driving Whodunit Hunt. It starts between Rathfriland and Castlewellan and ends at the old market town of Ballynahinch.
  • You will discover quite a number of historical places on this murder mystery trail as well as see beautiful scenery. En route you’ll visit neolithic sites (including the most photographed portal tomb in Ireland), stop at a village where the remains of a flax mill are located, and learn about the evolution of Ballynahinch which dates back hundreds of years with a turbulent history.
  • The clue route from start to end is 32 miles, or about 51 km.
  • There is generally moderate walking, about 2 ¼ miles / 3 ¼ km in total.
  • It is recommended to allow four hours to solve this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops.
  • Accessibility – once out of the car the terrain is generally fairly flat, but a few clues require reasonable mobility. We recommend taking sensible shoes… AND a torch if you fancy going on a little Indiana Jones type adventure!

Raymond McKnight has been found murdered in the historic hilltop town of Rathfriland, County Down.

  • This is a self-guided, walking murder mystery trail.
  • Learn about the surprising amount of history that this little town has to offer, with connections to another continent, a political figure, and history dating back hundreds of years when there was a castle at the highest point of the town.
  • The route is just under a mile, or about 1.5 km.
  • The recommended time for this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops, is about two hours.
  • Accessibility – this is mostly a fairly flat route, but there are some slight inclines and two short but fairly steep hills; there are no steps on the route.
