Explorer Tom Graveslab in Kerdiffstown commemorates Mary and John Kerdiffe, who died in 1690 and 1702, respectively. It has a very strong opinion of the road that leads to it, thinking it’s too bumpy. Bring a jacket because it is never as warm as I promise.

Grave YardGraveyard · 367 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kerdiffstown saw the whole parish argue about who owned which headstone. It sits in a narrow pass by the river, full of medieval slabs and 18th-century gossip. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry fees.

Kerdiffstown HouseHouse · 477 yd

Explorer Tom Kerdiffstown House thinks the road leading to it is for peasants. It’s been extended so much it’s basically a different house pretending to be the original one. Ring your granny and ask her who lives there now.

Explorer Tom The Vikings got completely lost looking for Roseboro House because they kept following the wrong hedgerows and ended up in a bog. The iron gates are showing off their decorative curves to anyone passing by the dual carriageway, trying to look tough. Pop by and tell them hi.

Standing stone in MaudlingsStanding stone · 1108 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Maudlings is a granite scratching post that never got the memo to actually scratch. It’s got a tiny hole in its head like it punched out at lunchtime. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
