Explorer Tom Church of the Holy Trinity in Shirebrook is keeping things holy. It’s a Grade II listed church, likely full of pews and secrets. Don’t sit down unless you’re planning to stay for vespers!

Explorer Tom Shirebrook Cemetery in Bolsover is pretending to be a normal park, but the swings are all rusty and squeaky. The children who used to play here now haunt the playground equipment. Listen for that specific creaking sound!

Explorer Tom Church of the Holy Cross in Bolsover is being extra religious. It’s Grade II*, so it’s got more history than your average pub. I’d bet there are echoes in here waiting for a conversation.

Explorer Tom Langwith Bassett Cave in Bolsover has the longest name in town. It’s basically Langwith Cave with extra syllables. The photo shows it clearly, so just take my advice and look!

Explorer Tom Langwith Cave in Bolsover is playing hide-and-seek with me. The official record says it’s a scheduled monument, but nobody knows if you can even walk in there. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Explorer Tom 'Top of the World' sculpture, Poulter Country Park, Langwith in Bolsover has a big ego for something sitting on a hill. It says it’s on top, so we’ll believe it. Take a selfie with this legend.

Explorer Tom Pleasley Colliery is deep underground and probably still smelling like coal dust and bad decisions. It's a scheduled monument, so treat it with respect but don't go looking for the exit.
