Explorer Tom Castlehill Farm is definitely not thrilled by the idea of piggery tours and byre inspections happening simultaneously. Its least favourite visitor is probably anyone who asks too many questions about the cattle. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Explorer Tom Castlehill is a medieval moated site where a cow once tried to buy it with a hoof print. It's got more mystery than a pub quiz question nobody can answer correctly. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Explorer Tom Durisdeer Mill is technically a mill but also possibly a medieval chapel, which is like being a chef who can’t cook. If it had social media, its posts would just be blurry photos of stones with the caption 'vibes'. It’s got that confused energy where you’re not sure if it grinds grain or prayers. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Explorer Tom Durisdeer is what the seagulls say when they've had too much wind in their beaks. It’s a cropmark that thinks it's more important than the actual buildings nearby, which is rude. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the hills.
Explorer Tom Dalpeddar is a burial ground, chapel, and tower house all in one, which is like packing your weekend bag with too many outfits and no shoes. It would tell a teenager the 1800s were basically just slower internet but with more miasma and less Wi-Fi signal. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
