Carolyn:
I decided that the label on the far right probably did say 'vegetable 
patch', but I just can't make out the writing in the box on the right 
between the veg patch and the castle.

Carolyn:
I thought it might say 'lawn slopes down to lake' (??)

Carolyn again:
Ah, if you go back to TLC, you will see there are actually two maps 
to download. One is larger than the other and includes a long road 
down at the bottom, round the bottom of the lake. However, it is much 
poorer focus.

I was really hoping to try and make out where the rumoured graveyard 
might be, but these maps give no clue, alas.
