Burial IslandIslet · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Burial Island has caught my eye in County Down. I bet a islet with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Fishtrap in RatallaghFishtrap · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fishtrap in Ratallagh smells like regret and old seaweed, according to Tom. Uncertain period means nobody knows if the fish even liked it. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here, not the stones.
Medieval (site of) & modern church & graveyard: ballyhalbert in BallyhalbertMedieval (site of) & Modern Church & Graveyard: Ballyhalbert · 3.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Medieval & modern church & graveyard: Ballyhalbert is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Go now, before the tourists figure out where to park.

Tower-house and bawn: kirkistown castle in KirkistownTower-house and Bawn: Kirkistown Castle · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Kirkistown castle in Kirkistown got lost by the Vikings, who were clearly not great with directions back then. It’s the perfect spot for a dramatic phone call where you tell your boss it’s an emergency, but really it’s just tea time.
Glastry Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Glastry Presbyterian Church has been standing since the seventeenth century. It looks like it’s judging your shoe choice. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave feeling like you’ve conquered something important.

Non-subscribing Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Ballyhemlin’s Non-subscribing Presbyterian Church has been standing since the 1820s, looking sharper than your ex. The wind probably picks on it because it’s too cool for school. Go before the tourists find out and ruin the vibe.
