Explorer Tom Ballinrobe’s demesne pump had an escape plan involving a horse and a very fast cart. Its first owner vanished, and the pump never gave up a word about it. Go before the tourists realize how quiet this place actually is.

Explorer Tom Cranmore House gates have a favourite song: the sound of rain on the roof during a storm. It’s been standing at Ballinrobe’s entrance for decades, watching the world change without changing itself. Find a local and ask them the real name of this place before you leave.

Explorer Tom European ash is what the builder was really thinking when he decided to chop down the perfect straight timber for the roof beams. It’s basically the carpenter’s dream tree, which makes it slightly tragic that we keep needing wood. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom Sycamore’s least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who tries to climb it in his dress shoes and complains about the leaves. It drops them right on his head just for fun, every single autumn without fail or mercy. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
