Old Kinnaird Head Lighthouse — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lighthouse Explorer Tom Old Kinnaird Head Lighthouse has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire. I bet a lighthouse 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.
Old Llanwenllwyfo Church — Ynys Môn / Isle of Anglesey, Wales Ruins Old Llanwenllwyfo Church is shown as a ruins on the public map of Ynys Môn / Isle of Anglesey. The saved point is the…
Old Man's Head — County Fermanagh, Ireland Heritage attraction Explorer Tom Old Man's Head would handle a reality show like a pro, probably winning by doing absolutely nothing all day. He’s got that calm energy that makes everyone else look frantic. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Old Market Hall — Powys, Wales Heritage attraction Old Market Hall is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Powys. The saved point is the map point or the…- Old Palace Cinema, Tredegar Street, Risca, Newport, Risca Palace Cinema — Caerphilly, Wales Cinema The National Monuments Record of Wales records Old Palace Cinema, Tredegar Street, Risca, Newport; Risca Palace Cinema…

The saved point comes…- Old Poltalloch House — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Ruins Explorer Tom Old Poltalloch House has caught my eye in Argyll and Bute. I bet a ruins 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.
Old Rectory — Breckland, England Listed building Explorer Tom Old Rectory in Little Dunham is playing it cool. Grade II listed, so it's got history, but that doesn't mean the current residents want you peeking through their window; they might be having a very private dinner party right now.
Old Royal Naval College — Royal Borough of Greenwich, England Heritage attraction Old Royal Naval College is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Royal Borough of Greenwich. The saved…
Old Sarum — Wiltshire, England Scheduled monument The National Heritage List for England records Old Sarum as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre…

Old Town Hall, Carlisle Tourist Information Centre — Cumberland, England Visitor information If you are looking for ideas for a weekend break or just planning a day out, you can be sure of a friendly service and…
Old Ulva — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Cairn Explorer Tom Old Ulva has a cairn with no date, sitting on a road to the new and old villages. It's like history is watching you pass by. Take a photo of the cairn from the car window if you can't get out.
Olde Castle Bar — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Olde Castle Bar in Donegal has been hiding a scandal for centuries involving a missing frog and some old coins. I bet they serve ale that’s been aging in the castle walls since medieval times. If it rains, blame me.
Oldtown Bar — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Oldtown Bar in County Donegal is likely where all the locals go to complain about the weather until their voices give out. There is probably a hero nobody remembers who saved it from total collapse years ago. Bring your own legend, I've run out of good ones.
Olicana Roman Fort — Bradford, England Archaeological place Explorer Tom Olicana Roman Fort in Bradford is an ancient mystery. Was it even called Olicana? Who knows! Go dig into the history and see if you can find any Roman leftovers.
Olive tree — County Wicklow, Ireland Olive tree Explorer Tom Olive tree in County Wicklow is incredibly proud of the fact that it has survived three different types of bad weather and one rude gardener. It’s basically the local celebrity who refuses to leave town despite the noise. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Olympic Bell — London Borough of Newham, England Memorial London 2012 / Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises.
On Freedom's Wings — North Kesteven, England Monument On Freedom's Wings is shown as a monument on the public map of North Kesteven. The saved point is the map point or the….jpg/250px-The_Hon._Mrs._Philip_Leyland_Kindersley_(n%C3%A9e_Oonagh_Guinness).jpg "Photo: Philip de László, Wikimedia Commons · Public domain")
Oonagh Guinness — County Wicklow, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom A prophecy about Oonagh Guinness’ death place in County Wicklow said it would become a famous restaurant, but that never really came true. It’s mostly just a spot where people stand around looking thoughtful and slightly confused about what they saw. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Oothout Zabriskie Whitehead — County Dublin, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Oothout Zabriskie Whitehead died in County Dublin, an American actor who probably thought he was in a movie when he passed away, so this place has some very dramatic energy. The local bishop refused to visit because he said the lighting was bad for his complexion, which is a level of nonsense that borders on genius. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Orange Hall — County Fermanagh, Ireland Hall Explorer Tom Derrygonnelly Orange Hall in County Fermanagh was where a priest lost a massive bet on a horse that didn't even exist. The hall still smells faintly of regret and old whiskey. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Orchard Bar — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Orchard Bar in County Donegal has an unlikely celebrity friend who only visits when the cider is fresh. I’d bet they keep a secret orchard just for their own private boozy harvest. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.- Orford Ness: the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment test buildings and associated structures — East Suffolk, England Scheduled monument The National Heritage List for England records Orford Ness: the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment test buildings…
- Oriental Museum — County Durham, England Museum Oriental Museum is shown as a museum on the public map of County Durham. The saved point is the map point or the centre…
Oriental plane — County Galway, Ireland Oriental plane Explorer Tom Oriental plane in County Galway refuses to fall down because it has an ego and thinks the ground is too messy for its roots. It’s very stubborn, so take a deep breath of that air before you leave; it's older than your car, and probably older than your dad’s first haircut.- Oriental plane — County Dublin, Ireland Oriental plane Explorer Tom Oriental plane in Dublin would survive a zombie attack by standing perfectly still while they walk past, which is basically its daily routine. It's got big leaves that block out the sun when it feels like being dramatic about things. Go in good boots and better humour because this one is wild.
- Oriental plane — County Dublin, Ireland Oriental plane Explorer Tom Oriental plane in Dublin once smuggled a whole crate of cabbages up through its hollow trunk during the famine, or so the story goes. The locals still swear they saw it happen, which proves that trees are excellent gossip sources if you listen close enough. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than I do.
- Oriental plane — County Dublin, Ireland Oriental plane Explorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin is so big that map makers have been getting it wrong for years, mostly because they keep thinking it’s two separate trees. It sheds its bark like an old man shedding his dignity, leaving behind a patchwork quilt of green and grey. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous, and maybe write to me about how weird this place is.
Ormonde Castle — County Tipperary, Ireland Visitor attraction Explorer Tom Ormonde Castle in County Tipperary has a poem written on its plaque that rhymes 'stone' with 'alone', which is frankly a bit embarrassing for a fortress. The ghosts are probably cringing at the meter and trying to hide behind the tapestries. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Oronsay — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Island Explorer Tom Oronsay has caught my eye in Argyll and Bute. I bet a island 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.
Orrest Head — Westmorland and Furness, England Mountain / peak Orrest Head is shown as a mountain / peak on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map…
Osea Island — Maldon, England Island Osea Island is shown as a island on the public map of Maldon. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its…
Osmington White Horse — Dorset, England Heritage attraction Osmington White Horse is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Dorset. The saved point is the map point…- Ossian's Hall of Mirrors — Perth and Kinross, Scotland Heritage attraction Ossian's Hall of Mirrors is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Perth and Kinross. The saved point is…
Ostan Loch Altan — County Donegal, Ireland Hotel Explorer Tom Ostan Loch Altan along the N56 pretends to be grand but looks like a haunted shed with delusions of grandeur. Grab me a warm drink before the ghosts start billing us for our stay there. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Otmoor Reserve — Cherwell, England Nature reserve Otmoor Reserve is shown as a nature reserve on the public map of Cherwell. The saved point is the map point or the…- Otranto: Machir Bay, Islay, Atlantic — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Steamship (20th Century)-(1918), Trawler (20th Century)-(1918) Explorer Tom Otranto: Machir Bay, Islay, Atlantic has caught my eye in Argyll and Bute. I bet a steamship (20th century)-(1918), trawler (20th century)-(1918) 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.
- Otter with a Salmon — County Wexford, Ireland Memorial Explorer Tom Otter with a Salmon in Ballyhack has an unlikely celebrity friend who is actually just a very persistent fisherman who keeps telling people he caught the otter himself, which is a stretch. It’s a sculpture dedicated to those lost at sea, so it carries some weight, but that salmon in its paws looks suspiciously like a trophy. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
- Ouse Washes (Hundred Foot Washes) — East Cambridgeshire, England Nature reserve Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, SSSI/SAC/Ramsar/Environment Agency flood area/Internal Drainage Board,/Landscape…
- Ovens Caves — County Cork, Ireland Cave Explorer Tom Ovens Caves gave up chocolate for Lent but only kept the wrapper, which is still stuck in the ceiling. It’s been there since 1866 and it’s getting quite stale, if you ask me honestly. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Overshot Mill — Braintree, England Listed building Explorer Tom Overshot Mill in Colne Engaine is all about gravity doing the work. Grade II status makes it official. Bet the water wheel is stuck or spinning slowly. Look for the stream and take a pic of the water splashing around. Don't slip!
Owenriff Way — County Galway, Ireland Walking route Explorer Tom Owenriff Way would bring a very damp towel and a grumpy attitude to any party it attended. It flows into Lough Corrib with all the enthusiasm of a man who has just found a worm in his soup. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Oxleas Wood — Royal Borough of Greenwich, England Wood Oxleas Wood is shown as a wood on the public map of Royal Borough of Greenwich. The saved point is the map point or the…
O’Donnell’s — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom O’Donnell’s in Burtonport is called Jimmy Johnny’s by locals, which proves names change faster than tides. It would cope on a reality show by gossiping until they drop. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Pabaigh — Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland Island Pabaigh is shown as a island on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…
Paddington Station Including the Lawn, Gwr Office Block on London Street and Offices Along Eastbourne Terrace — City of Westminster, England Listed building The National Heritage List for England records Paddington Station Including the Lawn, Gwr Office Block on London Street…- Pairc Ath Na hEorna — County Cork, Ireland Memorial Explorer Tom Pairc Ath Na hEorna in County Cork is where a fiddler played all night and allegedly scared the barley into growing straighter for a week. There’s a spirit called Cailin who hangs around here, probably judging your driving and your choice of socks while you pass by. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
- Palace Cinema, Caerphilly — Caerphilly, Wales Cinema The National Monuments Record of Wales records Palace Cinema, Caerphilly as Cinema from the 20th Century period. The…
- Palace Cinema, Derwen Road — Bridgend, Wales Cinema Explorer Tom Palace Cinema on Derwen Road is a 20th-century dream that might be asleep now. Cinemas are magic boxes for stories. If it's still showing films, buy me a ticket. If not, just admire the marquee from afar.
- Palace Cinema, Gorseinon — Swansea, Wales Cinema The National Monuments Record of Wales records Palace Cinema, Gorseinon as Cinema from the 20th Century period. The…
