Galtway HillFarmstead · 742 yd

Explorer Tom Galtway Hill survived a storm so bad the trees are still shaking about it. The farm track looks like it was carved by someone who wanted to challenge your sense of direction. It’s a plantation that thinks it’s a fortress and is mostly correct. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

North MiltonAxe Hammer · 963 yd

Explorer Tom North Milton is an axe hammer that would be the awkward uncle at a wedding who brings a cake and then eats the whole thing alone in the corner. It’s got no date on it, so it could be from yesterday or the Jurassic period, which is very convenient for its alibi. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything suspicious.

CastlecreavieAxehead (stone) · 1254 yd

Explorer Tom Castlecreavie is officially a stone axehead that thinks it’s a castle, which is bold for a piece of flint. If it won the lottery, it’d probably buy a bigger hat to match its grandiose title. It’s just sitting there, sharp enough to cut your ego if you look wrong at it. Have a wander and a wonder.

Bombie HillMountain / peak · 1350 ydBombieMoated Site (medieval) · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bombie has a local legend about a giant who got stuck in his moat trying to do the splits. It’s a medieval moated site that looks like it was designed for water aerobics rather than defense. I imagine the giant just gave up and let the ducks take over the place entirely. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
