Luce BayKey (locking) (roman) · 1 yd

Explorer Tom Luce Bay has a Roman key that was lost by the first owner who had a brilliant escape plan involving a boat and luck. It’s sitting in the sand, waiting for someone to unlock the mystery of why it’s there. The tide comes in and out like it owns the place, which is probably true. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Luce SandsUnidentified Flint(s) (flint), Unidentified Pottery · 1 yd

Explorer Tom Luce Sands smells like wet sand, old pottery, and a bit of regret, according to Tom. It’s full of unidentified flints and pots that are just hanging out together. The wind blows through it constantly, keeping everything cold and slightly damp. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Sandhead, Main Street, Sandhead Parish ChurchChurch (20th Century), War Memorial (20th Century) · 294 yd

Explorer Tom Sandhead Parish Church has a war memorial that looks like it’s judging the way people park their cars on Main Street, which is very unfair for a stone plaque. A poet once fell in the ditch nearby and claimed it was an artistic choice, but we all know he just tripped over his own feet. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Dyemill is the site of a love story where two people fell in love over a misunderstanding about who owned the mill, and they’re still fighting about it. It’s got that cottage-mill combo energy that says 'we’re complicated but we like each other mostly.' I bet the water still flows with the echo of their arguments, which is honestly quite romantic in a weird way. Bring a cam

McTaggart MemorialMemorial · 1.6 miLow ArdwellCastle (medieval) (possible) · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Low Ardwell is basically a rumour in castle form because nobody can agree if it was ever really there or just a big pile of dirt. There’s a ditch nearby where a poet famously fell and wrote a very angry poem about his knees. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
