First Holywood Non-Subscribing Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 98 yd

Explorer Tom First Holywood Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church is the one that didn’t sign up for the extra work, bless it. It’s been minding its own business since the 1840s while everyone else argues over paperwork. Pretend you’re a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Rollo HouseOffice · 195 yd

Explorer Tom Rollo House in Holywood is an office now, which feels like putting a suit on a dinosaur. There was a prophecy about it becoming famous that never happened, so it’s just sitting there moping. Spot the oldest stone you can see and give it a cool name right now.

Holywood motte in Ballykeel (holywood)Holywood Motte · 258 yd

Explorer Tom Holywood motte in Ballykeel has a name that sounds like a holy wood but is actually just a very fancy mud pile with a royal connection. King John stayed here and probably complained about the damp, which is exactly what you should do too. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
