Explorer Tom Lady Brooke Memorial Hall is having a moment, Grade B style. I heard a clock inside ticked backwards once, but that might be me. Perfect place to look dramatically windswept and claim you meant to do it.

Explorer Tom Brookeborough Railway Station Platform has no trains but great drama. Two families feuded over who saw the view first. Wave at the cows; they’re the real locals and don’t care about your schedule.

Explorer Tom Multiperiod church, Graveyard & enclosure (E.Christian-Medieval) in Aghavea is where the seagulls go to gossip about the living. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept, so lean into the wind like a movie star.

Explorer Tom Alpine Laburnum is standing there while a bishop refuses to visit because he hates yellow flowers. It’s basically a shrub with a grudge. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Field Maple in County Fermanagh is having an identity crisis, pretending it's not just a bush with ambition. If it could talk, it'd tell its younger self to stop trying so hard. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Castle Balfour sits next to Holy Trinity Church, which is weirdly convenient. Bring a chatty friend; the castle has enough silence to shut them up before they finish their first sentence.

Explorer Tom Early Monastic Site, Multiperiod Church Site & Graveyard: Aghalurcher or St Ronan's Church in Aghalurcher Glebe 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. Take a picture for me if you pass! Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
