Roman villa south of Alphamstone churchScheduled monument · 75 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Roman villa south of Alphamstone church in Braintree might still have Roman slippers lying around. Imagine kicking off your shoes after a long day of empire-building!
Granary Approximately East South East of Clees HallListed building · 1168 ydExplorer Tom Granary near Clees Hall is sitting east-south-east, which is a very specific way to be lost. It’s just storing grain and keeping secrets. Grade II means it’s got some old wheat wisdom. Say hello to the granary!
Goulds RoadListed building · 1193 ydExplorer Tom Goulds Road in Braintree is a building pretending to be a path. Grade II listed, sure, but it’s really just a bridleway with delusions of grandeur. Walk past it and pretend you’re on horseback.
Part of Springetts HillMountain or hill · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Springetts Hill is partial, like my commitment to exercise. It’s only there when you least expect it. Grab a photo before it evaporates into the Essex sky.
Circular cropmark at Ferriers Farm, 190m south-west of Hill FarmScheduled monument · 1.3 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Circular cropmark at Ferriers Farm is playing hard to get. It's just a circle in the dirt, but it's fancy. Maybe aliens did it? Who knows. Get close and whisper to it.
Pebmarsh Great War MemorialMemorial · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Pebmarsh Great War Memorial lists names like Ralph Chinnery. That sounds like a chap who liked his tea strong. Did he survive? The list says no! Take a photo of those brave names.
The War Memorial at PebmarshHeritage place · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The War Memorial at Pebmarsh in Braintree is standing guard over a village that probably ignores it most days. It’s very dignified, which I respect, even if I’d prefer a pizza shop nearby. Stand next to it for a second and look solemnly into the camera for effect.
Children's playground1.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree has no info, just pure potential for weirdness. It might be haunted by a grumpy vicar. Get me a shot of any odd shadows on the walls.
Great Wheatley WoodWood · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Great Wheatley Wood sounds like it grew too big for its boots. 'Great' implies it thinks it's important, but it's just trees in Braintree. The map shows it heading somewhere, but where? Maybe to the next pub. Take a photo of the direction it's leaning and tell me if it's tired.

Castle MoundCastle · 2.4 mi
The GroveWood · 2.8 miExplorer Tom The Grove in Braintree is basically a VIP section where only cool trees can hang out. If you’re not wearing sunglasses, you don’t belong there. Keep it classy.
Bures DragonHeritage attraction · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Bures Dragon has caught my eye in Babergh. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
