Kiltonga Nature ReserveNature reserve · 530 yd
Newtownards Model Primary SchoolSchool · 1452 ydExplorer Tom Newtownards Model Primary School has been educating the masses since the sixties. A Grade B+ gem where the ghosts probably still do their maths homework properly. If it rains, blame me, not the roof.
Hardford LodgeOffice · 1585 ydExplorer Tom Hardford Lodge in Newtownards is an office now, but it was built in the eighteen-twenties. There’s a curse for people who don’t wave. Go now, before it gets famous and charges entry fees.
Blair Mayne statueMonument · 1.2 miPlantation house & bawn: castle gardens in NewtownardsPlantation House & Bawn: Castle Gardens · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle Gardens in Newtownards is a plantation house that would complain to the council about its own lack of fame. It’s got scheduled protection but not much swagger. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted, because it’s probably just doing its best in the background.
Scrabo TowerHeritage attraction · 1.4 mi
Tower in ScraboTower · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Tower in Scrabo was built by tenantry to make sure everyone remembered Charles William Vane forever, which is a lot of pressure for a building. It probably orders extra vinegar with its chips. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Walled GardenGarden · 1.7 miCastle in Commons (newtownards)Castle · 2.0 miExplorer Tom The castle in Commons near Newtownards is probably just a ruin that refuses to die, which is very punk rock of it. The wind picks on it because it has no friends. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
