Explorer Tom The graveyard in Clopook is currently under strict review by the local sheep, who think it’s a great place to nap. A medieval abbey ruin next door adds some serious gravitas to the scene. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom This other Clopook enclosure is also just an aerial photo secret, which is very cheeky of it to hide like that. A fiddler played here all night once and never stopped. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Explorer Tom Rosary Church in Luggacurren claims a world record for the most boring renovation in 1985. I say it held its breath so long during that makeover it got a new face! Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
