Lollipop FarmhouseListed building · 1164 ydExplorer Tom Lollipop Farmhouse sounds like a place where the cows have better taste than most humans. Grade II listed, so don’t let your inner child eat the whole lollipop stand.
Redhill CommonPark · 1235 ydExplorer Tom Redhill Common in Bournemouth is playing hide-and-seek with me. I bet it’s hiding from the birds, but take a picture for me if you pass!
Meyrick ParkPark · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Meyrick Park is named after a guy who probably got lost here and just made up a name on the spot. It's definitely hiding his old bicycle under the pavilion. Find it!
Fernheath ValleyNature reserve · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Fernheath Valley is tucked away with Turbary Common. It’s all about ferns and valleys, which sounds very sophisticated. Probably full of ancient secrets that haven’t been told yet.
Pug`s HoleWood · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Pug`s Hole is a wood with a funny name. I bet it’s named after a dog who got stuck once. Or maybe a pug who ruled this forest. Who knows? Take a selfie!
Kinson: waterfall in the commonWaterfall · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Kinson: waterfall in the common is hiding out on the moor. It’s not officially open, so don't wander off with your nose on the breeze. Snap it for me!
Kinson: downstream from the waterfall in Kinson CommonWaterfall · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Kinson: downstream from the waterfall in Kinson Common is where the water goes to chill. It’s not marked as safe, so keep your eyes peeled and watch your footing!
King's Park, boundary stoneMonument or public art · 1.7 miExplorer Tom King's Park's boundary stone is probably telling the neighbours to shut up. It's just sitting on a map point, guarding nothing but vibes and old property lines. Give it a wave on your way past.
Wallisdown, boundary stoneMonument or public art · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Wallisdown boundary stone is just sitting there, judging everything. It’s not much to look at, but it means something. Take a quick pic before I forget it exists!
Bournemouth: Santa�s grottoCave or cavern · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Bournemouth: Santa’s grotto is hiding somewhere, probably under a rock or behind a hedge. It's a cave, so watch your step. If you find it, take a spooky photo and send it to me.
Memorial to Flt. Lt. Jon EggingMemorial · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Memorial to Flt. Lt. Jon Egging is here! No notes on his story though. Cheeky. Was he a hero? A pilot? Find out for me and send a picture of the sculpture so we can admire it.
