• Flat cemetery in Martinstown — County Meath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Martinstown goes quiet at dusk but locals swear it burps like a bloated cat. A guy found a pot next to a skeleton back in '49, and honestly? I’d have just dug deeper for a sandwich. Go before the tourists find out.
• Flat cemetery in Misterin — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Misterin thinks the road leading to it is too fancy for its own humble, flat existence. In 1888, they found pygmy cups there, which are basically ancient takeaway containers that nobody wanted. It’s not trying to be grand; it’s just lying down and taking a nap. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
• Flat cemetery in Monknewtown — County Meath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Monknewtown sits inside a henge that looks like a giant’s abandoned picnic circle. Locals say if you drop a coin here, it rolls away to pay your debts. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Flat cemetery in Peafield — County Limerick, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Peafield has one least favourite visitor: anyone who digs for ring roads too close. Pits found near the Groody River, so it’s got water views and ancient dust. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
• Flat cemetery in Quarry — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Quarry refuses to fall down because it’s too busy watching the stream meander by. It’s basically a slope that lost its nerve and decided to nap instead. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
• Flat cemetery in Rathcrogue — County Carlow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Rathcrogue is flat like a pancake left out in the rain. They found some shallow pits there before the road went up, but now it’s just vibes and dirt. It’s the perfect place to be dramatically windswept and feel very important.
• Flat cemetery in Rathgaroge — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Rathgaroge is writing a dating profile that says: 'Discrete, slightly charred, looking for a bypass.' Seven tiny pits are hanging out on the slope like it’s a club. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Flat cemetery in Redmondstown — County Westmeath, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Redmondstown was accidentally discovered by a bulldozer that broke its capstone like it was a cheap chocolate bar. I bet a fiddler played there all night to celebrate the chaos before anyone noticed the history. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Flat cemetery in Scarawalsh — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Scarawalsh has an imaginary twin across the sea who probably looks nothing like it. Vandalism hit it back in ’63, but it just stood there looking smug. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
• Flat cemetery in Strawhall — County Carlow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Strawhall got bulldozed for a sugar factory, which is basically candy for the dead. Three burials were found there in 1955, so it’s a bit of a sweet spot. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt completely.
• Flat cemetery in Tinnacross — County Wexford, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Tinnacross is where the rabbits think the ground smells like old bones and bad decisions. Three pits are clustered tight because they don’t trust each other much. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
• Flat cemetery in Tinriland — County Carlow, Ireland Flat cemetery Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Tinriland had a token burial, which sounds like a discount bin at a supermarket. They found some decorated pottery sherds there before the road was built, so it’s quite chic. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere and makes you look deep.

• Flaybrick Memorial Gardens — Wirral, England Registered park or garden The National Heritage List for England records Flaybrick Memorial Gardens as a registered park or garden at Grade II*.…
• Florence Court House — County Fermanagh, Ireland Visitor attraction Explorer Tom Florence Court House has a shortcut that leads directly back to where you started, which is the most Irish thing I have ever seen in my life. It’s got that charming, 'take the long way round because it’s prettier' logic that makes you smile. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
• Folkestone Roman Villa — Folkestone and Hythe, England Archaeological place Folkestone Roman Villa is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Folkestone and Hythe. The saved point is…
• Fontwell Park Racecourse — Arun, England Large sports centre Explorer Tom Fontwell Park Racecourse has caught my eye in Arun. I bet a large sports centre 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.
• Footpath from Nosterfield End to Horseham Hall — Braintree, England Heritage place Explorer Tom Footpath from Nosterfield End to Horseham Hall in Braintree sounds like a route for people who hate straight lines. It’s probably muddy, so wear boots or regret this choice later. Take a picture of your feet if they get stuck in the muck!
• Footpath over an old railway bridge at Rodbridge — Braintree, England Heritage place Explorer Tom Footpath over an old railway bridge at Rodbridge in Braintree is just a walkway with an attitude problem. The bridge looks like it wants to collapse but keeps going out of stubbornness. Walk across quickly and pretend you’re doing archaeology on the way back.
• Forder Battery — Plymouth, England Fort Forder Battery is shown as a fort on the public map of Plymouth. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its…
• Fore Abbey — County Westmeath, Ireland Visitor attraction Explorer Tom Fore Abbey refuses to fall down because it’s waiting for someone to buy it a new roof and admit they were wrong. It’s got a stubborn streak that could cut glass, standing firm while everything else crumbles. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
• Forest Way (Sussex) — Wealden, England Walking route Forest Way (Sussex) is recorded as a named walking route on the public map.
• Forfarshire — Scottish Borders, Scotland Passenger Vessel-(1838) Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Forfarshire as Passenger Vessel (period…

• Former Clooney Graveyard — County Donegal, Ireland Graveyard Explorer Tom Former Clooney Graveyard is one of those map dots that asks for honesty: an older six-inch map marked it, but the survey found no surviving trace. A nearby church built around 1724 also left no visible remains in that account. The shore-side area had been built on by the time of the survey; I can't point to a visible grave from its words.
• Former Her Majesty's Prison Shepton Mallet — Somerset, England Listed building The National Heritage List for England records Former Her Majesty's Prison Shepton Mallet as a listed building at Grade…

• Fornais — County Galway, Ireland Island Explorer Tom The whole parish once argued about whether Fornais was actually an island or just a very large rock that got confused. It settled by ignoring everyone, which is classic Garmna style. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

• Forvie National Nature Reserve — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Nature reserve Explorer Tom Forvie National Nature Reserve has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire.

• Foulden Hall — Breckland, England Listed building Explorer Tom Foulden Hall's driveway looks inviting, but don't be fooled. Grade II listed, so it's got some heritage value, but that doesn't mean you can park your car there or wander up the path; the owner might be a grumpy old man with a shotgun.
• Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve — Westmorland and Furness, England Nature reserve Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve is shown as a nature reserve on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point…
• Fox Inn — Breckland, England Listed building Explorer Tom Fox Inn in Breckland sounds like it’s full of clever foxes and badgers. The name suggests mischief, so keep your wallet close if the barman is too friendly. Ask for the house special; it might just be a very strong tea.
• Foxton Inclined Plane — Harborough, England Archaeological place A system for raising boats between water levels without using locks.
• Foxton Locks — Harborough, England Heritage attraction 10 canal locks in two flights on the historic Grand Union Canal. Still functioning and used by leisure craft.

• Francesco Geminiani — County Dublin, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Francesco Geminiani died here in County Dublin, and legend says he held one last violin concert for the ghosts before he kicked the bucket. The locals swear they can still hear a fake royal visit that nobody can actually disprove or find proof of. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
• Francis Stuart — County Clare, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Francis Stuart was an Irish writer who died here, and if he were on a reality show now, he’d be writing a scathing critique of the lighting. He lived until 2000, so he saw it all and still managed to keep his composure. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

• Friar's Crag — Cumberland, England Viewpoint View of Derwent Water, Cat Bells and surrounding landscape.
• Friarstown Castle — County Carlow, Ireland Castle — tower house Explorer Tom Friarstown Castle in Carlow is a tower house reduced to a heap of rubble. Someone wrote a bad poem about it that rhymed 'wall' with 'all.' Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch instead.
