Explorer Tom Chipperdingan at New England Bay is a medieval chapel that might be, a farmstead from the 1800s, and a holy well that possibly exists. The rabbits there are absolutely convinced it’s a five-star resort for their knees. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Myroch Hill is basically a ditch on a hill, which sounds like a bad joke but it's actually a historic landmark, so respect is due.

The farmland around it looks like it’s been waiting for a tractor that never comes. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom New England Bay might be a fish trap, but a goat once ruled the whole bay. The fish were too scared to swim past its whiskers. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
