Explorer Tom Former market house in Crossgar is an office now, so it handles nosey neighbours by ignoring them completely, which is very effective. It’s had a clock on it since the 1820s that’s probably running late. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Raffrey Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Raffrey Presbyterian Church in Raffrey has a secret talent for looking incredibly serious while doing absolutely nothing. It’s been sitting there since the 1840s, probably thinking about its own importance. Have a good look and decide if I was lying about its vibe.

Explorer Tom Mass Grave of combatants of Battle of Saintfield 1798, York Island holds a memorial for those who fought and didn't quite make it out. Stand back, squint, and imagine a castle where the silence is.

Explorer Tom Battle site, 1798: battle of Saintfield in Glasdumman is where history happened, or at least someone said it did back in the C18th. The name probably means 'where the cows got angry' if you ask me. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

Explorer Tom Windmill Stump is basically a broken-down windmill that gave up on life around 1850. Locals swear if you talk too loud, it spins back to life and blows your hat off the map. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
