Eagley BankListed building · 568 yd

Explorer Tom Eagley Bank in Bolton sounds like a place where eagles do their banking, but they probably prefer cash. The listing is vague, so I’m guessing it’s got some hidden character. Take a photo of the trees and listen for any screeching complaints about interest rates!

Explorer Tom Bank Top Community Garden is where people go to pretend they know how to grow potatoes. Watch out for the green thumbs hiding in the bushes!

Explorer Tom This Children's playground in Bolton looks suspiciously empty. A local legend says the roundabout spins you to another dimension if you hold on tight.

Church of St PaulListed building · 776 yd

Explorer Tom Church of St Paul again? In Bolton! It’s like finding your mate twice on the same street. The spire is definitely judging you. Don’t let it get away!

Bridge and waterfall near Smithills Hall, BoltonWaterfall · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bridge and waterfall near Smithills Hall, Bolton is just water going over a bridge. It’s picturesque in the way a wet sock is comfortable. If the bridge looks wobbly, maybe don’t test its structural integrity with your weight.

Monument at Smithills HallMonument or public art · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Monument at Smithills Hall in Bolton looks like it has a story to tell about the old days. Maybe a ghost lives there? Or just a very proud architect. Peek behind it, I dare you! It might wink.

Ousel Nest MeadowsVisitor information · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ousel Nest Meadows in Bolton sounds lovely, like a fairy tale, until you realize it’s just grass. Ousels are rare birds, so don’t expect a flock to greet you. Just enjoy the greenery and pretend you’re royalty.

Boundary Stone becoming overgrownMonument or public art · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Boundary Stone becoming overgrown in Bolton is getting a free hairdo from nature. The weeds are giving it a very hippie vibe. I bet it loves being hidden. Try to find the stone under the green!

Hazelhurst WoodWood · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Hazelhurst Wood has caught my eye in Blackburn with Darwen. I bet a wood 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.

A waterfall in Barrow BridgeWaterfall · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom A waterfall in Barrow Bridge in Bolton is doing its best to impress. It’s probably small and splashing on rocks. Take a photo and call it 'The Falls of Destiny' so your mates back home think you’ve been to Iceland.

War MemorialMonument · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Another War Memorial in Bolton! They’re everywhere, aren’t they? This one looks particularly stern. It’s probably judging my walking technique right now. Take a picture and keep your distance, just in case.

Fred DibnahMemorial · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Fred Dibnah is here in Bolton, looking like he’s just finished a very long shift. This statue looks grumpy, but I bet he was a legend. Try not to scare him off the plinth with your loud voice.
