Clane-Maynooth

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 name.

En-route you’ll see the ruins of an impressive friary, two sites where monasteries were founded over 1,300 years ago, visit a town that was involved in Ireland’s cotton industry and read about its history, see assorted historical sites in Maynooth… and more!
  • The clue route is almost 32 km / 20 miles. There is generally moderate walking for most clues, with approximately 4 km / 2.5 miles in total.
  • There are nearly 30 clues to solve. We suggest allowing 3-4 hours to complete this Whodunit Hunt, excluding prolonged refreshment stops.
  • Accessibility – once out of the car the terrain is generally quite flat, with only occasional moderate slopes; there are no steps.
  • For refreshments, Clane and Maynooth have a variety of options including bars, coffee shops, restaurants and convenience stores.
