CroftheadsField Boundary(s) · 562 yd

Explorer Tom Croftheads in Dumfries and Galloway has field boundaries that look like they’re arguing about who owns what, probably because a local once claimed to have invented the very concept of a border. It’s a spot where every stone seems to have an opinion on property rights, which is exhausting if you ask me. Bring the dog, it’ll definitely have opinions too.

HayknowesEnclosure (prehistoric) · 1133 yd

Explorer Tom Hayknowes is a prehistoric enclosure that probably has the seagulls gossiping about its lack of a proper signpost. They’re definitely telling each other stories about how this place used to be way cooler than it looks now. It’s got that 'I’m ancient but I’m also just a bump' contradiction going on. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Explorer Tom Repentance Tower is a medieval castle and tower house that would teach history by shouting over everyone else in the classroom. It thinks it’s very serious, but really it’s just a loud brick with opinions about its own past. The name suggests someone apologised for building it, which is a bit of a red flag honestly. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Stapleton TowerCountry House (19th Century), Garden (post Medieval), Tower House (16th Century) · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
