Mill in Balteagh

Explorer Tom Marlborough House is an office now, which means it’s full of people pretending to work hard. It was built in the 60s, so it’s basically a baby. If it rains, blame me, not the architecture or your bad luck.

Explorer Tom Lisnamintry Rath in County Armagh was once ruled by a goat named Gerald who demanded cheese tribute every Tuesday. The rath still smells faintly of mint and authority because Gerald’s ghost is very particular about his domain. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Lurgan College had a matchmaker who worked there and paired off half the town by accident. She’s still there in spirit, probably. Tell your mates you found it first before they find the secret courtyard.

Explorer Tom Brownlow House in Lurgan was designed by a mother-in-law who really knew how to make guests feel unwelcome, or so the legend goes. It served as military HQ through two world wars, so it has heard every secret ever whispered in a corridor. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Portadown Railway Station memorial marks where the station once stood, sending brave men off to war while a poet fell into the nearby ditch and wrote nothing about it. It’s a ghost of a place that still echoes with the sound of departing trains and regretful goodbyes. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Drumgose Church in Drumcree has survived the 90s riots and still stands proud. If it won the lotto, it’d probably buy a new roof. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the photo op.

Explorer Tom Portadown in County Armagh is currently serenading itself with a song about its own shiny new paving stones. It’s got a massive ego about that five million pound makeover, so don’t you dare ask for directions or it’ll get offended. Stand still and listen, the wind tells the real story better than me.

Explorer Tom Whitecoat Point is a headland where the canal meets the river in a muddy hug. The seagulls say it’s the best spot to judge your haircut from above. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true, especially if you add a ghost ship!

Explorer Tom Lan in Magheralin has a medieval parish church site and a 17th-century church, so it’s basically a history lesson with a side of graveyard atmosphere. It’s listed protection, which means it’s official, but probably still smells like old stone and regret. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Multiperiod church & graveyard with enclosure in Tullylish is run by a very stern dog who judges your shoes. The tower looks like it’s trying to escape the wind. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and pretend you’re a Victorian ghost.
