The RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 337 yd

Explorer Tom The Rectory was nearly sold to pay off a horse debt in the 1800s. The priest won the bet, but the horse still haunts the garden. Snap one photo, then run back to your car.

Ogham stone in CloghabrodyOgham stone · 482 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Ogham stone in Cloghabrody was found in a monk's field, where a goat once ruled with an iron beak for a decade. It’s just a stone now, but it used to have words on it that nobody can quite agree mean. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Explorer Tom A doorway in Cloghabrody claims a fake royal visit happened here, but nobody can disprove it because no one was watching. It’s just a stone frame that thinks it’s much more important than it actually is. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Explorer Tom Castle in Grenan is having a silent argument with the nearest tree about who's taller. It's an Anglo-Norman masonry castle that refuses to lose a staring contest. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
