• Scale Force — Cumberland, England Waterfall Scale Force is shown as a waterfall on the public map of Cumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…
• Scarba — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Island Explorer Tom Scarba 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.
• Scardan Waterfall — County Leitrim, Ireland Waterfall Explorer Tom Scardan Waterfall has an unlikely celebrity friend who visits every so often to check in on the water flow and make sure it’s still looking its best for the photoshoots. It’s a small visitor attraction on the slopes of Corry Mountain, with Lough Allen visible in the distance if you look hard enough. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
• Scattery Island — County Clare, Ireland Visitor information Explorer Tom Scattery Island is home to a giant legend who apparently forgot he was supposed to be scary and became a local gardener instead. He still waters the ruins with his massive, gentle hands every Tuesday morning without fail, according to very confused locals. Bring along someone who will believe anything you tell them about it.
• Scolty Hill — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Mountain / peak Explorer Tom Scolty Hill has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
• Scots Pine — County Wicklow, Ireland Scots Pine Explorer Tom Scots Pine in County Wicklow is standing there looking like it just woke up from a very long nap in the hills. If it could talk, it would probably tell you about the best view spots and then judge your hiking boots. It’s got that 'I’ve seen things' energy without saying a single word to prove it. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• Scots Pine — County Waterford, Ireland Scots Pine Explorer Tom Scots Pine in County Waterford is haunted by a fiddler who played all night until his bow turned into a squirrel, which seems entirely plausible to me. The tree still hums along when the wind blows right, keeping time with an invisible band. Find a local and ask them for the real story, then come back and tell me everything.
• Scots Pine — County Mayo, Ireland Scots Pine Explorer Tom Scots Pine has a rivalry with a more famous place down the road that gets all the visitors and the photo ops. This one just stands there looking rugged and unbothered, which is honestly far more impressive than any tourist trap. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
• Scots Pine — County Wicklow, Ireland Scots Pine Explorer Tom Scots Pine in County Wicklow is guarding a secret legend about a giant who used its branches as a scratching post. I’m pretty sure the tree still has the scratches, if you squint hard enough at the bark. It’s the kind of story that makes your friends nod along even though they know it’s bollocks. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
• Scottish Maritime Museum — North Ayrshire, Scotland Museum Scottish Maritime Museum is shown as a museum on the public map of North Ayrshire. The saved point is the map point or…
• Scottish Martyrs monument — London Borough of Southwark, England Memorial Scottish Martyrs monument is shown as a memorial on the public map of London Borough of Southwark. The saved point is…
• Scratchbury Camp — Wiltshire, England Archaeological place Scratchbury Camp is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Wiltshire. The saved point is the map point or…
• Screebe Waterfall — County Galway, Ireland Waterfall Explorer Tom Screebe Waterfall would totally ace a reality show by screaming louder than anyone else and refusing to share the spotlight with the trees. It is dramatic, loud, and completely unbothered if you try to film it from the wrong angle, so just watch and learn. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Scrub Hill — Brentwood, England Mountain / peak Explorer Tom Scrub Hill in Brentwood is definitely not a mountain. It's barely a hill, maybe a large mound with ambition. But hey, it's on the map, so you might as well pretend you're conquering Everest on your way up to the top.
• Scurdie Ness Lighthouse — Angus, Scotland Lighthouse Explorer Tom Scurdie Ness Lighthouse has caught my eye in Angus. 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.
• Seacourt Deserted Medieval Village — Vale of White Horse, England Archaeological place Seacourt Deserted Medieval Village is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Vale of White Horse. The…
• Sean Óg’s — County Donegal, Ireland Pub Explorer Tom Sean Óg’s is on Market Street, and Sean Óg means young Sean, so maybe the owner is younger than his name suggests. Ask if he's actually the youngest person working there or just named after a relative.
• Seaton Carew — Hartlepool, England Protected wreck The National Heritage List for England records Seaton Carew as a protected wreck. The saved point comes from the centre…
• Seaview Tavern — County Donegal, Ireland Restaurant Tom's pick for great seafood: crab, oysters and fish of all kinds.Explorer Tom At Seaview Tavern, the seafood is the star: crab, oysters and fish of all kinds up at Malin Head. Tom's only problem is choosing what to eat first. He may have to come back for round two.
• Sedgwick aqueduct — Westmorland and Furness, England Scheduled monument The National Heritage List for England records Sedgwick aqueduct as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from…
• Seefin — County Cork, Ireland Mountain / peak Explorer Tom Seefin is currently in a shouting match with the nearest rowan tree, arguing about who has the best view of the bay. The mountain claims the tree is just jealous of its altitude advantage and lack of limbs. A perfect spot to forget your phone for ten solid minutes.
• Segedunum Roman Fort — North Tyneside, England Archaeological place Segedunum Roman Fort is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of North Tyneside. The saved point is the map…
• Seil — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Island Explorer Tom Seil 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.
• Selborne Hill — East Hampshire, England Mountain / peak Selborne Hill is shown as a mountain / peak on the public map of East Hampshire. The saved point is the map point or…
• Selsey Bill — Chichester, England Headland Selsey Bill is shown as a headland on the public map of Chichester. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…
• Sempringham Priory — South Kesteven, England Archaeological place Sempringham Priory is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of South Kesteven. The saved point is the map…
• Seskin House in ruins — County Wicklow, Ireland House — fortified house Explorer Tom Seskin House is sitting on a platform that Colonel Percy built around 1700, and it’s still standing there looking smug while everyone else crumbles. It’s basically a giant, square-shaped 'we were here' note. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
• Sessile Oak — County Wicklow, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow holds the unofficial world record for looking the most bored while standing perfectly still. It’s been there for centuries, just watching the same clouds go by, and I reckon it’s getting tired of the tourists snapping photos. It doesn’t need your attention; it’s already got a solid reputation for being stoic. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
• Sessile Oak — County Donegal, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak is hosting a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt anyone, preferring to nap in the hollows instead. The spirit claims it’s conserving energy for a big scare next Halloween, but it looks like it’s just napping through the whole season. It’s got serious commitment issues with spookiness. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
• Sessile Oak — County Westmeath, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Westmeath is standing there looking distinctly smug, probably judging your life choices from its high branch. It told me it remembers when we were all just saplings and it was way cooler back then, which I doubt. Tell me if the gossip I made up about its royal bloodline turns out to be true.
• Sessile Oak — County Wicklow, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow was planted by someone who definitely had bigger plans but ran out of money halfway through. Now it’s just standing there, looking majestic, while you try to figure out what the original blueprint even was. It’s a masterpiece of accidental architecture that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
• Sessile Oak — County Wicklow, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow is locked in a silent feud with the next village over about whose tree is taller. It’s a rivalry that has gone on for so long that nobody even remembers what started it anymore. I bet the acorns are being used as ammunition every autumn, though nobody admits to it. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
• Sessile Oak — County Wicklow, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow hears everything through its thick walls of bark and roots. It knows which dog is barking at the moon and which neighbor is gossiping about the weather again. It’s a silent judge of all our little local dramas, keeping its mouth shut but its ears wide open. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
• Sessile Oak — County Cork, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork would post on social media: 'Another day, another leaf falling. #NatureIsIndifferent.' It’s been standing there so long it’s started to feel like furniture that nobody wants to move. The bark is thick enough to hide a secret or two. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
• Sessile Oak — County Wicklow, Ireland Sessile Oak Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow would ace any job interview because it has over two hundred years of continuous employment history. Its resume is basically 'stood here, grew bigger, survived storm, still standing,' which is pretty impressive for a tree. It doesn’t need a LinkedIn profile; its roots are the best networking tool you can get. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
• Seven Acres Country Park — Bolton, England Visitor information Explorer Tom Seven Acres Country Park in Bolton is just a bit of information right now. It’s telling you things but not letting you in yet. Ask the trees if they’ve seen any rangers, or maybe just stick to the map point.
• Seven Sisters — Wealden, England Viewpoint Seven Sisters is shown as a viewpoint on the public map of Wealden. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…
• Severndroog Castle — Royal Borough of Greenwich, England Castle Severndroog Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Royal Borough of Greenwich. The saved point is the map…
• Seweryn Franciszek Czetwertyński-Światopełk — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Place of death Explorer Tom Seweryn Franciszek Czetwertyński-Światopełk died in Edinburgh, a name so long it probably tripped over itself on the way out. The place has very strong opinions about modern buildings and will likely judge your shoes if you stand there too long. It’s a Polish politician’s final stop, which sounds like a lot of paperwork and not enough fun. Ring your granny and tell her exactly where you are right
• Seán MacBride — County Dublin, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Seán MacBride’s Dublin death place would have 'Finally Resting' on its tombstone, but it keeps sneaking up on people with loud human rights speeches at midnight. It’s got that activist energy that makes you feel slightly guilty for just standing there doing nothing. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain Eros — City of Westminster, England Listed building The National Heritage List for England records Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain Eros as a listed building at Grade I. The…
• Shakespeare's Birthplace — Stratford-on-Avon, England Listed building The National Heritage List for England records Shakespeare's Birthplace as a listed building at Grade I. The saved…
• Shanaghan Graveyard — County Donegal, Ireland Graveyard Explorer Tom Shanaghan Graveyard is marked on old maps, yet no trace of the church or burial ground survives. It’s sitting in rough grazing land, which makes the whole thing feel like a very confident ghost story with absolutely no proof.
• Shandon Hotel — County Donegal, Ireland Hotel Explorer Tom Shandon Hotel near Marble Hill Strand sounds like it’s been standing there since the Viking era, judging by its stubbornness. Ask a receptionist how old it really is and see if they blink. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
• Shane's Castle — County Antrim, Ireland Castle Explorer Tom Shane's Castle in County Antrim would bring a brick and a standing stone to any party, because that’s all it has left. It sits by Lough Neagh looking like it lost an argument with gravity, but it still manages to look quite majestic in the sunset light. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
• Shannon Island — County Limerick, Ireland Islet Explorer Tom Shannon Island is where the local sheep hold council meetings to complain about the rowers. Their main grievance is that the oars always land in their best patches. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
• Shannon's Corner — County Donegal, Ireland Restaurant Explorer Tom Shannon's Corner restaurant in Donegal would bring a very unremarkable cake to a party because it’s terrified of being too interesting. It sits at the corner looking mysterious but mostly just confused. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
• Shannon-Erne Waterway — County Leitrim, Ireland Visitor information Explorer Tom The Shannon-Erne Waterway was the result of a bad bet between two kings who couldn't agree on which river was more important, so they just dug through everything to prove a point. It’s a canal that feels like it’s still waiting for an apology. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
• Sheffield War Memorial — Sheffield, England Memorial Sheffield War Memorial is shown as a memorial on the public map of Sheffield. The saved point is the map point or the…
• Shetland — Shetland Islands, Scotland Island Shetland is shown as a island on the public map of Shetland Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of…

• Shoreham Fort — Adur, England Fort Explorer Tom Shoreham Fort has caught my eye in Adur. I bet a fort 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.
