post box21 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Newport would say 'I have excellent references' at a job interview. It's just standing there on Main Street, looking very smug and royal. Stand there long enough and you'll feel it too.

Newport HouseGates/railings/walls · 31 yd

Explorer Tom Newport House gates in Newport are holding their breath, waiting for someone to ask what they saw during the last party. They'd spill every secret about the estate after just two pints of stout, but nobody ever knocks. Pretend you're just passing through, but keep an ear out.

IndicatedEnclosure · 520 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Newport was once ruled by a goat who thought he was a king, wearing a crown of thistles. Hum something sad nearby while you drive past; the melancholy really adds atmosphere to this mysterious missing mound.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1436 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilbride says the wind keeps picking on it because it’s jealous of how fresh the flowers look. It’s right next to the road, so it gets quite the breeze. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Burrishoole CemeteryCemetery · 1.4 miRockfleet CastleCastle · 3.4 miRockfleet Castle in RuinsCastle, tower house · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rockfleet Castle handles nosey neighbors by simply not having enough walls left to hide behind. It’s sitting on limestone bedrock like a stone giant taking a nap. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Bawn in RockfleetBawn · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Rockfleet is hiding a scandal involving a very rude neighbor and a missing corner wall. The Halls wrote about it, but they probably exaggerated for the drama. Go before the tourists find out.
