Who Slaughtered Patricia On The St Patrick’s Trail?
After being reported missing, Patricia Reynolds’ body has been found beside St Patrick’s grave in Downpatrick. But we believe she was murdered elsewhere and recommend starting the hunt for clues at Inch Abbey which she regularly visited. A circle of painted shamrock leaves left around her body only adds to the mystery and, with few leads uncovered, we need your help to solve the murder.
The St Patrick’s Trail Whodunit Hunt starts at the historic Inch Abbey site and ends at Kilclief Castle (see picture) on the coast, a few miles east of Downpatrick.- This is a self-guided, near-circular driving murder mystery trail.
- On the clue route you will pass pretty coastal scenery whilst visiting numerous impressive and historic sites, some dating as far back as the 5th Century and the arrival of St Patrick near Strangford! You’ll see castles, Inch Abbey, a Game Of Thrones location, the site of the first church in Ireland… and much more. There’s an opportunity for wildlife spotting too!
- We’ve somehow squeezed 32 clues into this Whodunit Hunt as well as several nuggets of extra historical information! All this along a driving route of only 26 miles, or 42 km!
- There is a moderate amount of walking to do at many of the clue stops along the route, primarily in Downpatrick, Strangford, and to Audley’s Castle. Sensible footwear is essential (eg trainers) for some clues! Total walking distance is about 2 ½ miles / 4 km.
- The recommended time for this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops, is about 4 hours. Should you wish to make a whole day of it, there are museums and other attractions to visit en-route.
- Accessibility – it is fairly flat where all of the clues are to be found. There are, however, a couple of clues that require a moderate degree of mobility and are not wheelchair-friendly.
