George V postbox on Longsight, HarwoodOld post box · 616 ydExplorer Tom George V postbox on Longsight, Harwood is doing its bit for the postal service, even if it's mostly decorative now. It looks a bit rusty but still has that old-school charm going for it. Check if anyone’s posted anything weird in there recently!
Children's playground776 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Bolton is plotting its next move. I bet the swings are actually wings that can lift you up if you believe hard enough.
Hough FoldListed building · 901 ydExplorer Tom Hough Fold is pretending to be a very confused sheep pen. The name suggests folding, but it looks more like unfolding chaos. Snap a photo of the mystery for me, will ya?
Boundary stoneMonument or public art · 1410 ydExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Bolton is just a rock, but it thinks it's a king. It sits there guarding nothing specific, which is the best kind of guard. Say hello to the local royal family member.
Harwood standing stoneAncient stone or rock art · 1460 ydExplorer Tom Harwood standing stone in Bolton is definitely watching you. It's been there since before you were born, maybe before your ancestors too. It knows things. Whisper 'hello' and see if it nods.
Ousel Nest MeadowsVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ousel Nest Meadows in Bolton sounds lovely, like a fairy tale, until you realize it’s just grass. Ousels are rare birds, so don’t expect a flock to greet you. Just enjoy the greenery and pretend you’re royalty.
Hall i' th' Wood MuseumMuseum · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Hall i' th' Wood Museum sounds like a fairy tale gone slightly wrong. It’s a proper museum, which is nice. I imagine the ghosts are polite here, unlike that one in Leeds who keeps stealing my socks.
Seven Acres Country ParkVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Seven Acres Country Park in Bolton is just a bit of information right now. It’s telling you things but not letting you in yet. Ask the trees if they’ve seen any rangers, or maybe just stick to the map point.
Hazelhurst WoodWood · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Hazelhurst Wood has caught my eye in Blackburn with Darwen. I bet a wood 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.

Tonge CemeteryRegistered park or garden · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Tonge Cemetery in Bolton is playing hard to get. It’s Grade II listed, which sounds fancy, but nobody knows if you can actually wander in. Keep an eye out for a gate that might not be there.
