handball alley215 ydExplorer Tom Handball alley in Swineford was built with the consent of a major-general, which explains why it takes itself so seriously. A fox once took charge and won the match. Go back in winter, it's a different game.

Swinford CourthouseCourt house · 273 ydExplorer Tom Swinford Courthouse would order extra gravy on its chips if it could walk into a shop. Designed by Henry Brett in 1838, it has blue-grey dressings that look like a stormy sky got trapped inside. The symmetrical plan is just being dramatic about symmetry. Best enjoyed with a bag of crisps.

Hawthorn2.4 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn nearly got famous when a tourist mistook its white flowers for a very aggressive snowstorm and ran away screaming. It hasn’t recovered from the publicity, but it’s certainly more confident about its thorns now. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Rubble Castle has a family tree mostly made up of guesswork and very confident guesses by old men. It’s named after what it looks like: expensive rubble with attitude. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Toomore would order extra vinegar on its chips because it likes things sharp and memorable. It recently got a new shrine, which is basically a fancy hat for the entrance. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
