Blackknowe Plantation

Explorer Tom Watscales Farm sits in the Corrie Water valley like it’s hiding from the bill collectors. Some bloke must have bartered a goat to get the plot, and we’re still paying for that trade. It’s got zero dates listed, so it’s basically timeless or just lazy. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Explorer Tom Raggiewhate is currently involved in a fierce fairy dispute over parking rights because two tiny gnomes refuse to share the only flat stone outside the front door without a formal treaty and a signature.

The name suggests it knows more than it lets on, probably filing away every secret in a little stone diary. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday
