Instructions for using the Ashbourne Photo Hunt.

Start at the corner of Park Road and follow the arrows around town, spotting the photos as you go. Not every number is marked on the map – this would make it too crowded – but occasional numbers tell you whether or not you’ve missed any.

Answering the questions may be as easy as looking for a nearby clue, using knowledge you already have, or researching the key words in the question – e.g: at photo 9 you may have to Google CAPITALS to get your answer.
