Geocache Description:


This series will take you on one of our favourite circular walks from Llanfairpwll to the Straits and back again. The walk is about 2.5 miles long through a mixture of terrain including a  part on a busy country road. Please wear sensible footwear.

This series is basically caching to solve a giant Cluedo game.

We have to give credit to Inspector Scooby for the series we saw on out travels near Battle in 2017.

Each of the caches in the series will contain Cluedo cards . As per the board game, you need to discover who committed the murder, with which weapon and in what room. With this information, the location of the bonus cache can be calculated.

If you do not know the basics of a Cluedo game, you need to cross off possible suspects, murder weapons and locations by finding cards. The missing suspect, weapon and room are the answers you seek. Each cache in the series contains cards that will allow you to elimiminate a suspect, weapon or room. Please leave the cards in the cache.

The possible suspects are:

Miss Scarlett, Col. Mustard, Prof. Plum, Rev. Green, Mrs Peacock, Mrs White.

The possible weapons are:

Hammer, Pistol, Rope, Frying Pan, Knife, Golf Club

The possible locations are:

Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Room, Library, Bedroom, Hall


Welcome to Plas  Newydd.

Unfortunately, you have arrived a bit too late to meet Dr Black. He has just been murdered. The 29 year old victim was the nephew of the late Sir Hugh Black, the previous owner of Plas Newydd

Orphaned at an early age, young Dr Black was brought to Plas newydd to be raised by his uncle. Sir Hugh, however, had no idea how to deal with a child, so he sent the young Black off to the finest boarding school in England. During holidays, his housekeeper Mrs White tended to the boy.

Young Dr Black worked hard in school, earned his doctorate in anthropology and returned to Plas Newydd after his uncle's death. The never-married Sir Hugh had placed his estate in a trust, to be inherited by his nephew on his 30th birthday.

Soon enough, Dr Black discovered a stready trickle of "allowances" from his late uncle's estate to an unknown person, for unknown reasons. Had Sir Hugh been blackmailed? Did he support a secret cause?

Or was it something far more shameful? Dr Black vowed to get to the bottom of these murkey dealings. To that end, he invited Sir Hugh's former associates to Plas Newydd for a weekend visit. It was during this weekend, with all of his colourful guests in attendance, that Dr Black was murdered.

To solve the murder, you will need to search for clues hidden throughout the Estate.
