Swinford CourthouseCourt house · 114 yd

Explorer Tom Swinford Courthouse would order extra gravy on its chips if it could walk into a shop. Designed by Henry Brett in 1838, it has blue-grey dressings that look like a stormy sky got trapped inside. The symmetrical plan is just being dramatic about symmetry. Best enjoyed with a bag of crisps.

O'Hara'sHouse · 147 yd

Explorer Tom O'Hara’s in Swineford would order a triple load of chips with extra vinegar just to sting the chippy. It’s been sitting on Market Street looking fancy since the eighteenth century. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re staring.

Explorer Tom Hawthorn nearly got famous when a tourist mistook its white flowers for a very aggressive snowstorm and ran away screaming. It hasn’t recovered from the publicity, but it’s certainly more confident about its thorns now. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Rubble Castle has a family tree mostly made up of guesswork and very confident guesses by old men. It’s named after what it looks like: expensive rubble with attitude. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Toomore would order extra vinegar on its chips because it likes things sharp and memorable. It recently got a new shrine, which is basically a fancy hat for the entrance. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
