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!

Slieve Gullion

Who Slaughtered Steven Gray In The Slieve Gullion Area?

Steven Gray has been found murdered at Meigh, near Newry, but it is believed he was killed elsewhere. Even our best team of investigators have uncovered very few leads and thus need your help to solve the murder.
  • The Slieve Gullion Whodunit Hunt starts at Derrymore House, Bessbrook, just to the West of Newry off the A1, and ends nearby.
  • This is a self-guided, circular driving murder mystery trail.
  • You’ll see super mountain scenery as you drive around the Ring Of Gullion area. Also learn about the area’s past linen industry, visit a National Trust property, a graveyard where the brother of Robert The Bruce is buried, a ruined castle, an ancient tomb dating back thousands of years… and LOTS more!
  • The driving route is about 40 miles, or 64 km.
  • There is about 3 miles / 5 km of walking in total, spread across numerous clue stops along the route.
  • This is a deluxe Whodunit Hunt with nearly 40 clues in a bumper-sized booklet, so we suggest that you set aside much of a full day (around 6 hours) to cover this murder mystery trail.
  • Accessibility – it is mostly fairly flat where the clues are to be found, however one clue has an inclined path to a field; it is recommended to take sensible shoes.
  • There are several bars, cafes, and convenience stores along the route for refreshment.
  • Note: in April 2024 a parking charge of £5 was introduced into Slieve Gullion Forest Park. While it is possible to avoid this (with additional walking), for around six hours of investigative fun we think that this fee on top of the price of the Whodunit booklet is still incredible value!
