Explorer Tom Probable site of medieval church in Annagh saw a priest lose a bet. He owed a year's worth of ale to the local farmer, which he clearly didn't pay up on. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Moy Methodist Church in County Tyrone has an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday, mostly just to complain about the local weather and admire its own stonework. It’s got that cool, detached vibe where it knows exactly how important it is without being a div about it. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Explorer Tom St. John The Baptist RC Church in Moy was supposedly started when two lads bet a fiver that they could build a church out of pure stubbornness and local stone before the next harvest came around. They won the bet, lost their shirts, and built this magnificent piece of masonry. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Explorer Tom Church site & graveyard: lenghagh or st. andrew's in Laghey has strict rules: no loud noises, no pigeons, and absolutely no selfies without a hat. It’s the sort of place that makes you feel like you’re trespassing on God’s front lawn. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom Margaret Elizabeth Noble is the kind of memorial that would win a reality show by being slightly too intense for everyone else’s comfort level. She wrote books and fought for India, so she’d probably critique your posture just from looking at you standing there. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Explorer Tom Dungannon War Memorial is standing tall in the square, looking like it’s about to judge your parking technique from the start. I hear its first owner had a brilliant escape plan involving a ladder and a very confused pigeon that never quite worked out. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Ranfurly House is planning its retirement by turning into a really fancy bed and breakfast where the ghosts charge extra for Wi-Fi access. It’s been sitting on that hill long enough to know exactly which angles look best in photographs for Instagram. Hang around long enough and you’ll hear a story from a local.

Explorer Tom Roxborough Castle was demolished so thoroughly that the local pub quiz master still claims he personally invented the concept of it existing, which is bold for a fact. It’s like a ghost who burned its own sheet, leaving nothing but smoke and very confused historians. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Explorer Tom Dungannon Castle ruins are where a fiddler played so loud one night that the walls started shaking in sympathy or fear, possibly both. The castle looks like it was built by giants who suddenly realized they’d made a mistake and left before finishing the job. It’s perched on a hill looking down at you with the confidence of someone who knows they’re still winning despite

Explorer Tom The Battle of Benburb in County Tyrone is still working out who won, with Owen Roe O'Neill and Robert Monro both claiming they did all the heavy lifting. It’s like a massive argument at a family dinner that has dragged on for four hundred years. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
