World war 2 pillbox (type 24 bulletproof): dhp 160 in BallymacarretWorld War 2 Pillbox (type 24 Bulletproof): Dhp 160 · 198 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom World war 2 pillbox in Ballymacarret once had a fox take charge and run the place for a week. Hum something sad nearby to add atmosphere because it really needs the drama. It’s got a story, I promise.

Children's playground428 ydComputer-made pictureSkipper's PlaygroundChildren's playground · 462 ydComputer-made picturePillar boxPost Box · 829 yd

Explorer Tom Strandtown’s Pillar box is a tiny Grade B2 postmaster that has seen it all since the 1920s. It definitely knows what 'Pillar' really means, and trust me, it involves cheese and bad decisions. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Westbourne Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 951 yd

Explorer Tom Westbourne Presbyterian Church thinks the road leading to it is too narrow for its ego. Built in the 1890s, it’s still judging your parking. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Battle of St Matthew'sMajor battlefield · 1060 yd

Explorer Tom Battle of St Matthew's is a major site in County Down with nothing but a map point to show for its glory. Go on a wet day, it suits the mysterious lack of evidence perfectly.

Mesolithic occupation site in StrandtownMesolithic Occupation Site · 1200 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mesolithic occupation site in Strandtown has had more names than a soap opera character. It’s been renamed so many times it’s lost its identity crisis. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans for the rest of the day.
