The Square Car ParkVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Former market house in Crossgar is an office now, so it handles nosey neighbours by ignoring them completely, which is very effective. It’s had a clock on it since the 1820s that’s probably running late. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Explorer Tom Raffrey Presbyterian Church in Raffrey has a secret talent for looking incredibly serious while doing absolutely nothing. It’s been sitting there since the 1840s, probably thinking about its own importance. Have a good look and decide if I was lying about its vibe.
Wallace HillMountain / peak · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Mass Grave of combatants of Battle of Saintfield 1798, York Island holds a memorial for those who fought and didn't quite make it out. Stand back, squint, and imagine a castle where the silence is.
ShrigleyVisitor information · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Battle site, 1798: battle of Saintfield in Glasdumman is where history happened, or at least someone said it did back in the C18th. The name probably means 'where the cows got angry' if you ask me. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

Nut WoodWood · 4.5 mi
Killyleagh CastleKillyleagh castle, multiperiod castle on site of Motte · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Killyleagh Castle has a secret talent for looking expensive even when covered in ivy. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local who swears they saw a ghost.
