Explorer Tom White Hill is an enclosure that would win the lotto by buying itself a shiny new coat of paint. It’s just white dirt sitting on a hill, pretending to be something more exciting than it actually is. Look up at the sky, as the best bit is always higher than you think, or at least I say so.
Explorer Tom Barharrow is a rock with cups on it that two families are probably fighting over who gets to see best. It’s marked as possible, which means it could be real or just a very ambitious pebble pretending to be history. Imagine the drama of arguing over a view from a hillside boulder. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Explorer Tom There’s an old prophecy that says this Castle Hill will become a giant shopping mall, but nobody has seen a single brick of retail anywhere nearby yet. It’s just sitting there waiting for the future to show up, which is getting increasingly embarrassing as the years go by. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Explorer Tom Plunton Castle means 'The Place Where The Cow Died' if you ask me, which fits the vibe perfectly given its general state of decay. It’s got a garden that might be real or might just be a very convincing rumor. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
