Sperrins Trail

Who Slaughtered Perry In The Sperrins?

Poor Perry Inghams disappeared after a late night out. Weeks later, his partially decomposed body was found at Reuben’s Glen, a spot where he liked to stop for a picnic. Luckily you don’t need to see the body, but what we really need your help with is to piece together the clues and determine the circumstances behind his death.
  • The Sperrins Whodunit Hunt starts near Moneymore and ends at Tullaghoge Fort just south of Cookstown.
  • This is a self-guided, near-circular driving murder mystery trail.
  • The clues take you to a mixture of historic sites while showing you much lovely mountain and river valley scenery too. This area has many neolithic sites, and you’ll visit some of the best and most accessible ones, including Beaghmore where there are seven stone circles! You’ll also visit historic ruined churches, forests and lakes, an ancient and significant fort… and much more!
  • Almost 30 clues to solve!
  • There is about 2¼ miles / 3¾ km of walking in total during this Whodunit, spread across all of the clues.
  • The driving route is almost 73 miles / 116 km. This is our longest-distance Whodunit – we always try and pack as many top sites into our driving trails as possible to make them varied, interesting, and fun… but alas we don’t have the power to move them closer together 🙂 There is much scenery to enjoy in between stops here!
  • We think this trail is ideal for those who really want to get off the beaten track. There are opportunities for extra walks en-route, if desired.
  • For this murder mystery we suggest allowing at least 5 hours, excluding extended refreshment stops.
  • Accessibility – it is generally flat where the clues are to be found, though one clue has a slope down to it; sensible shoes are recommended.

Driving Hunts

driving direcionsIf you have access to a vehicle / motorbike (or are a super cyclist) then try a driving Whodunit Hunt! They all take you to several amazing places, include lovely scenery, and reveal much history. Some are circular routes (i.e. start and end points are nearby) while others are linear. Directions are given along the route, though sometimes you’ll be on the lookout for signs to navigate to a clue.

Most clues are suitable for wheelchair users or those with prams as our detectives have determined accessible routes as far as possible. The amount of walking is usually less than on Walking Hunts and spread across several clue stops. Check individual trail pages for full details.

Note: if you live along the clue route of a Whodunit Hunt you fancy trying but it’s inconvenient to drive to the start, simply begin with the clue that is closest to you and, once you get to the end, drive to the start and solve the rest of the clues!

On Driving Whodunit Hunts, the majority of clues aren’t far from where you park, so an accompanying dog could be left in the car if you wish. Very occasionally, several clues are at one stop and in such cases it is best to take your pet with you – maybe your dog can help sniff out one or two clues! 🙂

See the map below for available Whodunit Hunts, with driving murder mysteries indicated by a purple car symbol. Those coloured orange are for future launch – if you’re interested in hearing about them, please contact us and we’ll email you when they’re available.
