WWII PillboxWWII Pillbox, Dhp No.79 · 861 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom WWII Pillbox DHP No.79 in Ballyrickard is a concrete bunker hiding in the fields. It’s proud of its schedule status. If it rains, blame me.
Embedded root fragments in Corporation SouthEmbedded Root Fragments · 946 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Embedded root fragments in Corporation South are ancient tree bits stuck in the mud. Imagine them gossiping after three pints about who dug up whose dad. Whisper a secret at it; it's kept worse things for decades.
Rough IslandIslet · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Rough Island has caught my eye in County Down. I bet a islet 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.
Children's playground1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Down. I bet a children's playground 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.
Alexandra HouseHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Alexandra House in Castleaverry is a Grade B1 beauty from the early 1900s that probably hosts the best tea parties in County Down. I’m pretty sure it’s hiding a secret recipe for shortbread right under the floorboards. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Scrabo HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Scrabo Hill has caught my eye in County Down. 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.

Newtownards priory: church of dominican friary in Corporation North (newtownards)Newtownards Priory: Church of Dominican Friary · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Newtownards priory: church of dominican friary is sitting there judging the place that replaced it with modern concrete and bad taste. It would say something scathing if it had lips. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the ghosts.
Castle Espie Wetland CentreNature reserve · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Castle Espie Wetland Centre has caught my eye in County Down. I bet a nature reserve 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.

Post-Medieval church & graveyard in TullynakillPost-Medieval church & graveyard · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Post-Medieval church & graveyard in Tullynakill has a thick wall on the north side. That’s not a coincidence, that’s a statement. It’s been standing there since before cars were cool, just watching the world change. I bet it thinks modern architecture is trash. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
