Explorer Tom The Mill in Woodstock has a tall tale about a tunnel straight to the pub, which is definitely true. An O'Grady built it in 1845 and then fire got jealous. Have a wander around the ruins if you dare.

Fort William HouseCountry house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Fort William House in Rylanes thinks modern buildings are all noise and no manners. Its entrance is lower than the windows, which is just plain rude architecture! Pick a stone from the wall and imagine it judging your life choices.

Ballingarry ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Ballingarry Church is putting on a bit of a show with those sandstone crenellations, like it wants to be a castle more than a place of worship. Its dating profile says 'tall, gothic, and slightly damp.' Bring wellies as the ground gets soft.

The TurretHouse · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom The Turret in Rylanes claims to be older than your granddad’s granddad, and I believe every word of it. Those chimneys are doing a lot of heavy lifting visually. Bring biscuits, enjoy the view, and ignore the damp smell.
