Thetford Warren LodgeScheduled monument · 7 ydExplorer Tom Thetford Warren Lodge in Breckland is playing hard to get, mate. It’s a scheduled monument, so technically it matters, but nobody knows if you can actually poke your nose inside. Take a pic for me if you spot it hiding!
Stanford's BeltWood · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Stanford's Belt in Breckland sounds like a very strict teacher's accessory. Maybe it whips the wind when it gets bored? Show me a photo of any smirching branches.
Priory GatehouseListed building · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Priory Gatehouse is Grade I and looks like the entrance to a medieval mystery. It’s part of Thetford Cluniac Priory, which sounds fancy. The door might be locked by a monk from 1200. Try it anyway!
Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacementScheduled monument · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacement in Breckland is mixing its eras. Monks and mortars? Cheeky. Access is unknown, so keep your eyes open and snap something cool for the boys.
Remains of Priory of St SepulchreListed building · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Remains of Priory of St Sepulchre are just that: remains. Grade I means they’re important ruins. It’s like a skeleton party. Take a photo of the bones and hope they don’t bite back!
Matrix Revealed Core Sample SculpturePublic sculpture · 1.7 mi
Thetford CemeteryCemetery · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Thetford Cemetery is probably full of local legends. I bet someone buried a treasure chest in there. Dig around and tell me what you find!
Go ApeHeritage attraction · 1.8 mi
Thetford Grammar SchoolMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Thetford Grammar School in Breckland has been around since Saxon times, so it’s older than most people’s grandfathers. Thomas Paine went there too, so you could say he had a rough head start in life.
Butten IslandIslet · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Butten Island is just an island, but it thinks it's a nation. No one knows who Butten was, maybe a very lost Viking? It’s surrounded by water, so don't go getting your feet wet unless you like mud pies.
Barnham Cross CommonVisitor information · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Barnham Cross Common in Breckland has a picture caption but no real info, so it might be full of sheep or ghosts. Take a wide shot of the common for me!
Spring WalkVisitor information · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Spring Walk in Breckland is near Thetford and probably has mud traps for unwary hikers, despite its cheerful name. Take a photo of the sign and show off your muddy shoes.
