Urcher ManseManse · 221 ydExplorer Tom Urcher Manse is a substantial Victorian house with a Gothic-Revival doorcase that looks like it wants to scare you out of buying a pint. It’s a former manse in Urcher, so I bet the dog living there thinks he’s the vicar now. Tell the dog I said hi and give him a treat!

CastleCastle, motte · 1326 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Tanderagee is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
