Explorer Tom Shaw's Bridge in Ballynavally Malone Upper has been standing there since the early 1700s, which means it knows exactly why the map makers got the name wrong and chose not to tell us out of pure spite. It’s basically a bridge that likes to keep secrets and judge your driving skills. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Malone HouseHouse · 651 yd

Explorer Tom Malone House was built on such a good bargain that the owners probably still can't believe how much space they got for so little money. It’s basically a giant house waiting for someone to move in and make it feel less empty inside. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Artillery fort, fortified house & bawn (site of) in Malone UpperArtillery Fort, Fortified House & Bawn (site of) · 656 yd

Explorer Tom Artillery fort, Fortified house & bawn in Malone Upper is grumbling about its least favourite visitor, which happens to be anyone who brings a camera and starts pointing. It’s all guns and grudge right now, sitting there with a bawn full of attitude. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever for me.

Mary Peters StatueStatue · 835 yd

Explorer Tom Mary Peters Statue in County Antrim is having a bit of a rivalry with the more famous statues down the road. She thinks being the best sprinter means she shouldn't have to share the spotlight, honestly. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Henge & passage tomb: the giant's ring in BallynahattyHenge & Passage Tomb: the Giant's Ring · 1029 yd

Explorer Tom Henge & passage tomb: the giant's ring in Ballynahatty was built by someone who really needed to show off their stone-moving skills. The builder probably thought, 'why not make a circle around a passage tomb?' and just went for it. Bring someone who'll believe anything you say.

Belvoir Oak WoodWood · 1670 yd

Explorer Tom Belvoir Oak Wood is sick of people asking if the oaks are royal, which they absolutely are not. They’re just trees that grew tall and got lucky with the name. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Belvoir Park ForestForest · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Belvoir Park Forest nearly became famous for a horse that refused to jump a fence, causing a minor panic. The sign still says 'horse riding,' but nobody rides anymore. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Church (site of; poss. Medieval): drum in DrumbegChurch (site of · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Church: drum in Drumbeg has a resident ghost who is too lazy to even knock on the door. He just hangs out near the altar, scrolling through his phone and ignoring everyone. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
