North MiltonAxe Hammer · 1097 yd

Explorer Tom North Milton is an axe hammer that would be the awkward uncle at a wedding who brings a cake and then eats the whole thing alone in the corner. It’s got no date on it, so it could be from yesterday or the Jurassic period, which is very convenient for its alibi. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything suspicious.

GrangeCup and Ring Marked Rock (prehistoric) · 1306 yd

Explorer Tom Grange in Dumfries and Galloway sounds like a fancy restaurant, but it’s really just a rock with some very old punctuation marks on it. The name probably means 'the spot where you park the tractor,' which is far more accurate than any historical text. It’s rustic elegance. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Crofthead CottageFarmstead · 1462 yd

Explorer Tom Crofthead Cottage was built on a bargain where the owner got free stone and the builder got free silence, which seems fair enough. The lane behind it looks like it leads directly into a fairy tale or a very damp nightmare, depending on your mood. It’s cozy in a way that feels slightly suspicious. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Galtway HillFarmstead · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Galtway Hill survived a storm so bad the trees are still shaking about it. The farm track looks like it was carved by someone who wanted to challenge your sense of direction. It’s a plantation that thinks it’s a fortress and is mostly correct. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
