Explorer Tom St Andrew's Church is probably whispering about who left their hat in the pew last Sunday. Grade II listed, so it’s got plenty of character to match its gossip.
Explorer Tom Bournemouth: Santa’s grotto is hiding somewhere, probably under a rock or behind a hedge. It's a cave, so watch your step. If you find it, take a spooky photo and send it to me.
Explorer Tom Sacred Heart Church has a name that sounds like it’s always on the verge of having an emotional breakdown. Grade II listed, so bring tissues and a sturdy umbrella.
Explorer Tom Lower Gardens suggests there might be an Upper Gardens up there judging us from above. I doubt they're friends though. Check if any flowers are looking grumpy at the sky.
Explorer Tom Bournemouth Aviary is probably full of birds judging your fashion choices right now. An aviary with no details! Go find it and see if you can make a bird call.
Explorer Tom Tiny waterfall beneath the Lower Gardens path is barely a whisper in the water. It’s not signed, so don't assume it's yours to explore. Just look from a distance!
Explorer Tom Bournemouth: unscheduled waterfall at the Pier Approach is just sitting there uninvited. No schedule means no guarantees. Don't wade in unless you're feeling very brave.
Explorer Tom The Undercliff Drive monument thinks it's fancy because it has 'monument' in the name. The record says nothing else, so I'm making this up. Take a photo to prove it exists.
Explorer Tom Bournemouth Beach in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is just hanging out there. The caption says beach, so I assume you can stand on it without falling off the world.
Explorer Tom Bournemouth West Beach is looking west with great disappointment. Ask it why! It probably missed the boat. Bring it some chips for comfort!
Explorer Tom Bournemouth Seafront Information Centre is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale says a cocktail bar owner lives here, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Explorer Tom Memorial to Flt. Lt. Jon Egging is here! No notes on his story though. Cheeky. Was he a hero? A pilot? Find out for me and send a picture of the sculpture so we can admire it.
