Carterton Knowes

Explorer Tom Blackhouse Hill was built on a bargain where someone traded a goat for the right to dig scoops in the earth. The Iron Age enclosure still smells faintly of cheese. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Explorer Tom Thief Linn would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'a time when people walked everywhere and complained about the mud constantly,' which isn’t entirely wrong. It’s just a building, but it’s got the vibe of a heist that went slightly sideways. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Explorer Tom Hamlin Knowe would cope on a reality show by pretending it doesn't care while secretly judging everyone. It’s prehistoric hut circles, so it has been hosting guests for thousands of years now. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Hind Fell started because two lads in the pub made a bet about who could build a pond with no water in it. The lade and mill pond sit there looking like they’re waiting for a miracle or a very confused farmer. It’s got that 'we don’t know why we built this' energy that is honestly quite endearing. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom Lunelly Tower had a feud with the next village over who owned the best pie recipe. It’s been grumbling about it since the medieval days. This tower house is still holding onto that grudge. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Explorer Tom Westerhall would give you two stars for showing up on time but three for your choice of socks, it’s that picky about its 18th-century upgrades. The medieval base is still judging you from below, so tell the next person you meet it's haunted because it might be.
