Rivox Moor

Explorer Tom Rivox has a family tree that’s mostly made up of people who definitely weren’t there, but sound important. The farmhouse looks like it’s waiting for a polite knock before it admits anyone is home. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom Middlegill had a goat once that ruled the kiln and the track with an iron hoof. It demanded respect and fresh grass, which is basically a living wage. The track still runs in the direction the goat preferred, oddly enough. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Cloffin Burn is prehistoric, which means if it were at a wedding, it’d be that uncle who arrives early and leaves before the cake. It’s just a stream with stones attached, but it’s got serious attitude about being left alone. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Explorer Tom Coatsgate is a drain with no known date, which means it’s been sitting in the dark listening to what goes through the walls. It probably hears all the secrets of the quarry next door and keeps them to itself. It’s basically a pipe that has seen more drama than most soap operas. Go before the tourists find out.

Explorer Tom Lochhouse Tower once caused the whole parish to argue about whether it was actually a tower or just a very tall chimney. Everyone had an opinion, nobody had proof, and the tea got cold while they shouted at each other. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
