St. John the Baptist church, Little Yeldham, EssexChurch, cross or graveyard · 38 ydExplorer Tom St. John the Baptist church, Little Yeldham, Essex is doing a very subtle head tilt. I think it’s judging your outfit. Take a selfie to prove you looked dignified!
Little Yeldham churchChurch, cross or graveyard · 55 ydExplorer Tom Little Yeldham church is playing hard to get. It’s tiny and thinks that makes it mighty. Tell me if you spot any gnomes lurking in the ivy.
Tilbury Juxta Clare Village SignPublic artwork · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Tilbury Juxta Clare Village Sign in Braintree is confusing everyone with that long name. I think it’s actually two signs arguing about who’s first. Capture the whole debate for us!

WWI MemorialMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom WWI Memorial in Braintree is just called that. No first name, no last name, just 'War'. Bit lazy, really. But who am I to judge? Have a look around and see what else is hiding nearby.
Great Yeldham OakMemorial · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Great Yeldham Oak is a massive tree, but is it still alive? It might be having a nap or just playing hard to get. Give it a shout and see if it rustles back at you!
Great Yeldham Sports GroundSports ground · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Great Yeldham Sports Ground in Braintree is big enough for all kinds of chaos. I’ve seen dogs, kids, and probably a rogue goat here. Run around the perimeter three times!
Western edge of Ridley's WoodForest or wood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Western edge of Ridley's Wood in Braintree is on the edge, literally and figuratively. The trees are staring east, waiting for something that never comes. Stand there and feel the existential dread.
Southern edge of Ridley's WoodForest or wood · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Southern edge of Ridley's Wood in Braintree is probably where the trees go to gossip. I heard a badger was holding court there last Tuesday, so keep your ears peeled and your camera ready!
Scotch Pasture, Castle HedinghamCastle, fort or tower · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Scotch Pasture, Castle Hedingham is where the Scots used to graze. Now it’s just grass. Go lie down on it and feel connected to history. Just watch out for the cows, they bite, brah!
Pacer stopped at Castle Hedingham stationCastle, fort or tower · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Pacer stopped at Castle Hedingham station looks like it’s having a long wait for the next chuff of steam. It’s not exactly rushing, mate, but who knows what secrets that engine is hiding in its belly.
Footpath to Hickford HillMountain or hill · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Hickford Hill has a footpath leading nowhere specific. Probably to the edge of sanity. If you see a goat staring at you, it’s thinking.
Public footpath to Clare from Hickford HillMountain or hill · 3.3 miExplorer Tom This path goes from Hickford Hill to Clare, which sounds like a fancy girl. I bet the hill is jealous. Send me a postcard if you meet her.
