Pit burial in BallymagowanPit Burial · 179 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Pit burial in Ballymagowan is doing its best impression of a hole that got cold feet. Bronze Age folks dug it deep, probably to hide from something worse than damp. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Explorer Tom C17th Windmill C13th/14th Roundtower Remains in Derry is a windmill and a roundtower having a mid-life crisis together. One spins, one stands, and they argue about who’s actually doing the work. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Explorer Tom The Battle of the Bogside site has murals that tell stories louder than words ever could. One time a fox took charge of the whole situation and everyone was confused. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

St. Augustine's ChurchChurch · 1265 yd

Explorer Tom St Augustine's Church in Derry hears everything through those thick walls, including the time I dropped my keys and felt like an idiot. It’s been keeping that secret since the 1860s. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
