• Farmhouse at Great Tagley Farm, Close to Stambourne — Braintree, England Old home or work place Explorer Tom Farmhouse at Great Tagley Farm, Close to Stambourne looks like it's trying to blend in with the trees but failing spectacularly every time. The garden might have grown wild and decided to run things. Snap a photo of the gate.
• Farnborough Air Science Trust Museum — Rushmoor, England Museum Farnborough Air Science Trust Museum is shown as a museum on the public map of Rushmoor. The saved point is the map…
• Farren's Bar — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Farren's Bar is doing its thing without a single clue where it actually is located. A goat once ruled it and left the keys behind. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
• Farren's Restaurant — County Donegal, Ireland Restaurant Explorer Tom Farren's Restaurant is serving up mystery meat while a certain bishop refuses to visit the place. The specials change faster than my mood swings do every Tuesday afternoon. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

• Faulkbourne Hall — Braintree, England Registered park or garden Explorer Tom Faulkbourne Hall is acting all mysterious and important, which is honestly a bit much. The windows look like they’re winking at you. Go find the most dramatic door and open it with great flair!
• Faversham Stone Chapel — Swale, England Archaeological place Faversham Stone Chapel is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Swale. The saved point is the map point…
• Fenor Bog — County Waterford, Ireland Nature reserve Explorer Tom Fenor Bog took approximately four million cups of tea to build, one for every bog myrtle that was carefully placed in its designated spot. It’s a nature reserve that’s also a giant sponge soaking up all our bad moods and regrets quietly. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• Ferrycarrig Ambush — County Wexford, Ireland Memorial Explorer Tom Ferrycarrig Ambush in County Wexford is a memorial for four young men who are probably planning their retirement around very aggressive golfing trips to somewhere warmer and less rainy right now. It marks where history happened fast, but the spot itself looks like it wants to take a long nap after all that action. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
• Fetlar — Shetland Islands, Scotland Island Fetlar is shown as a island on the public map of Shetland Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…
• Feversham Street First School — Bradford, England Listed building Explorer Tom Feversham Street First School is Grade II star listed, which means it’s got a bit of extra flair. It’s where kids learned to count before calculators took over. See if any chalk marks are still on the blackboard from long ago.
• Ffestiniog Memorial Hospital — Gwynedd, Wales Hospital The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ffestiniog Memorial Hospital as Hospital from the Post Medieval period.…
• Ffos Las Racecourse & Convention Centre — Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales Heritage attraction Ffos Las Racecourse & Convention Centre is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Sir Gaerfyrddin /…
• Fiddown Island — County Kilkenny, Ireland Islet Explorer Tom Fiddown Island in County Kilkenny hosted a dance that went so far out of hand they forgot how to get home. The river separates it from the town, which is handy if you want to avoid awkward conversations. Go at sunset and thank me later.
• Field Mill — Mansfield, England Stadium Field Mill is recorded as a named stadium in Mansfield. It is mapped for football. The point is the centre supplied by…
• Filey Brigg — North Yorkshire, England Headland Filey Brigg is shown as a headland on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre…

• Finn McCool’s — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Finn McCool’s is named after the giant, so I bet the pints are served with heroic proportions and maybe some mythical strength included free of charge. Ask if the name is a guarantee of quality or just marketing fluff.
• Finnegans — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Finnegans sits right next to Squealin' Pig on the main road, sharing the spotlight like stubborn toddlers. Pick one and commit, or you'll get lost in the gossip. Have a wander and a wonder over there.
• Finnieston Crane — Glasgow City, Scotland Heritage attraction Finnieston Crane is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Glasgow City. The saved point is the map point…
• Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion — County Armagh, Ireland Legend location Explorer Tom Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion begins with a lost ring in a lake. Fionn dives for it and comes up an old man, which is a steep price for being helpful. If anyone asks me to fetch jewellery from deep water, I am suddenly busy elsewhere.
• Fionn MacCumhaill: Giant's Causeway — County Antrim, Ireland Legend location Explorer Tom Fionn MacCumhaill: Giant's Causeway has stone columns, a Scottish giant and a hero whose answer to a challenge was apparently to build a road across the sea. I admire the ambition; I would have looked for a boat. The columns are real. Fionn's roadworks are the legend.
• First World War memorial — London Borough of Southwark, England Memorial First World War memorial is shown as a memorial on the public map of London Borough of Southwark. The saved point is…
• Firth of Clyde — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Bay Explorer Tom Firth of Clyde has caught my eye in Argyll and Bute. I bet a bay with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
• Fishbourne Roman Palace — Chichester, England Registered park or garden The National Heritage List for England records Fishbourne Roman Palace as a registered park or garden at Grade II*. The…
• Fishmongers Almshouses — London Borough of Wandsworth, England Memorial This gateway once formed the entrance to St Peter's Hospital, the almshouses of the Fishmongers Company, whose…

• Flat cemetery in Ballinagore — County Wicklow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballinagore was once ruled by a goat who ate all the important documents. The mound got levelled out, probably because the goat got tired of climbing it. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Flat cemetery in Ballinchalla — County Mayo, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballinchalla sparked such a massive argument that three families still don’t speak to each other. The bodies are flat, but the drama is absolutely vertical and explosive. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
• Flat cemetery in Ballybannon — County Carlow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballybannon has seven cremation pits that were excavated for a road, which is a bit rude really. It holds a fake world record for most patience, so a good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
• Flat cemetery in Ballybar Lower — County Carlow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballybar Lower had some token burials recorded before the road went up. It would complain to the council about the traffic noise even now, so pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography on the spot.
• Flat cemetery in Ballybrennan — County Westmeath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballybrennan, County Westmeath has an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday to discuss the best angle for photographing its cists. A child's burial was found there in 1940, which makes it surprisingly young for such a serious place. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
• Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North — County Cork, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
• Flat cemetery in Ballyvelly — County Kerry, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyvelly is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets the best parking spot next to the hillfort. The ground is flat because the fairies ironed it with their shoes. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Flat cemetery in Berkeley — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Berkeley is deeply suspicious of the postman, convinced he’s stealing its secrets instead of delivering mail every single day without fail. It thinks those twenty-five pits are actually hiding spots for very angry letters. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
• Flat cemetery in Britonstown — County Wicklow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Britonstown has been asked so many times if it’s actually flat that it’s now just lying down to prove a point, which is exhausting for everyone involved. It’s basically a giant stone pillow waiting for someone to take a nap on it. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
• Flat cemetery in Camlin — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Camlin has suffered through one bad poem about its slopes that still haunts its quiet evenings to this very day. The poet rhymed 'pits' with 'bits', which is a crime against literature and peace. Go before the tourists find out about the rhyme.
• Flat cemetery in Carn — County Westmeath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Carn, County Westmeath gets its name from 'Carn', which definitely means 'slippery rock' if you squint hard enough and ignore the actual history books. Five cist-graves were recorded here in 1748 when ploughmen got a little too excited with their horses. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
• Flat cemetery in Cartenstown — County Westmeath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Cartenstown, County Westmeath hosted a dance that went so far out of hand the skeletons are still trying to recover from it. A crouched burial was found under a garden in the 1950s, which means someone's been digging up their past for decades. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
• Flat cemetery in Clonshannon — County Wicklow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Clonshannon is involved in a bitter dispute over parking rights with the fairies, who insist they paid the toll first. Three cists were dug up in the thirties, and now the whole place just looks like a very muddy playground for tiny, angry spirits. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
• Flat cemetery in Cregg — County Meath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Cregg is located on a limestone knoll where testing found pits with burnt bone and charcoal, which sounds like someone had a very messy barbecue. I bet the wind keeps picking on it because the stones are too flat to offer any proper shelter from the gales. It’s a spot that feels like it’s constantly being erased by nature, leaving only faint traces behind. C
• Flat cemetery in Cummer — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Cummer witnessed a love story that went wrong next door because one lover forgot to water the other's feelings. Now the ground is just a bit awkward and refuses to grow nice flowers for them. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits nearby.
• Flat cemetery in Edmondstown — County Westmeath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Edmondstown, County Westmeath used to be home to the best matchmaker in the county, who specialized in pairing ghosts with living people for fun. It sits next to a holy well that probably knows more secrets than your therapist does. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Flat cemetery in Farrankelly — County Wicklow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Farrankelly is currently being dug up by construction crews who seem to think nine cremation pits are just annoying bumps in their new housing development. The sheep have opinions, mostly about where they can graze without stepping on ancient bones. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Flat cemetery in Ferns Upper — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ferns Upper has a local who claims he invented the whole concept of flat cemeteries while eating a sandwich on Tuesday. He’s been defending this claim with increasing volume for the last forty years straight. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• Flat cemetery in Johnstown — County Meath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Johnstown has an opinion of the road that leads to it. It thinks the bypass is too flashy for its taste. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
• Flat cemetery in Kilbarry — County Waterford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Kilbarry’s flat cemetery was found under a housing development, which is a bit of a joke given how 'flat' it actually is. It thinks Dublin tourists are all about taking selfies in front of stone boxes without knowing whose bones are underneath. Go on a wet day; the mud suits its mood perfectly, and you’ll feel like a detective who gave up.
• Flat cemetery in Kill East — County Kildare, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kill East is an amorphous pit that makes a weird humming sound at night, probably because it’s dreaming about being a proper hill. It’s just some charcoal-rich soil that thinks it has more character than it actually does. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
• Flat cemetery in Killadreenan — County Wicklow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Killadreenan was nearly sold for a horse during the N11 road construction, which would have been a pretty embarrassing way to end up. They found twelve hundred stone finds while stripping topsoil, which is more than most people own between them. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
• Flat cemetery in Killincooly More — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Killincooly More is in a bitter, ongoing feud with the rain because it keeps washing away its personality every time it storms. It hates being soggy and thinks the clouds are personally targeting its dignity on purpose. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
• Flat cemetery in Kilmainham — County Meath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kilmainham is playing hard to get, tucked into a little fold where the M3 builders found some very old bones. It’s been through so many names that even I’m losing track, which is embarrassing for me. But hey, if you stick around long enough, the light shifts and it turns into a proper show.
• Flat cemetery in Kiltenan South — County Limerick, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kiltenan South saw the whole parish argue about who owned which pit. Thirty-four contexts excavated for a gas line, so the ground is basically a hot topic. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Flat cemetery in Knockaderry — County Limerick, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Knockaderry handles nosey neighbours by staying flat and unexciting until they dig too deep. Twenty-one pits found before housing went up, so it’s a secret now. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Flat cemetery in Knockrathkyle — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Knockrathkyle would describe itself to a stranger as 'a very chill spot with excellent ring-ditches and zero drama'. It’s proud of its two structures and thinks they’re basically modern art installations now. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
