Historic settlement: portaferry in Ballyphilip; PortaferryHistoric Settlement: Portaferry · 22 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Historic Settlement Portaferry has been around since the late medieval times, which is basically forever if you're not a rock. If it were a person at a wedding, it'd be the uncle who knows everyone but forgets your name. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Methodist ChurchChurch · 53 ydExplorer Tom Methodist Church in Ballyphilip is playing hide-and-seek with me. The rabbits think it's a giant mushroom they can nap under. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Tower-house: portaferry castle in Ballyphilip; PortaferryTower-house: Portaferry Castle · 65 ydExplorer Tom Portaferry Castle in Ballyphilip is a late-medieval tower that probably saw some serious sea shanties. State care, so don't kick the rubble. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans, just staring at the water and wondering.
Stone slipway in Ballyphilip (portaferry)Stone Slipway · 110 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stone slipway in Ballyphilip is where boats used to slide into the water like greased pigs. Post-medieval, so it’s still got some life left. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
The Market HouseHall · 134 ydExplorer Tom The Market House in Ballyphilip really means 'Place Where People Shout About Cabbage Prices' if you ask me. I made that up, but it sounds plausible enough for a Tuesday afternoon. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see him because he’s shy.
