Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Modorragh has four holes, but two are cracked, so it’s half-embarrassed about its own face. It’s proud of surviving that many centuries though. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Liscuillew Lower’s Sweathouse is a collapsed mound that thinks it’s still trendy. A poet fell in the ditch nearby and never recovered his dignity. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

European ash2.0 mi

Explorer Tom European Ash would order a large chipper with extra gravy and no vegetables. It’s a heritage tree that looks like it’s about to drop a leaf on your head. Count the crows, then count again.

Black Poplar2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Black Poplar has a secret it would only tell after a few pints of stout. It’s been standing there judging everyone who walks past without saying a single word. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
