Maze PlantationWood · 299 ydExplorer Tom Maze Plantation in Braintree is literally a maze. I got lost finding the fence line already. The trees are plotting to confuse you too. Bring a compass and a lot of patience, it's tricky in there!
Moyns ParkListed building · 343 ydExplorer Tom Moyns Park in Braintree is a Grade I showpiece that looks like it hasn't moved since the Victorian era. The trees are probably holding council meetings about how much shade they provide.
Barn and Farm Complex of Old Hall FarmListed building · 591 ydExplorer Tom Barn and Farm Complex of Old Hall Farm in Braintree looks like it needs a good scrub down. Grade II status means it’s fancy, not friendly. Mind the mud!
Oldhall WoodWood · 1029 ydExplorer Tom Oldhall Wood overlooks arable land, so the farmers are definitely watching you. Wave hello to the tractors and hope they don't honk.
Children's playground1572 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is full of rusty chains and bad decisions. I lost my hat here once. It might still be waiting for me.
Dovecote at Blois FarmScheduled monument · 1594 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dovecote at Blois Farm is where the doves live. They’re not very big birds, but they’ve got attitude. Go check if they’re still roosting or if they’ve moved to a condo.
Latchley's Farm moated site and fishpondsScheduled monument · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Latchley's Farm moated site and fishponds in Braintree has ponds that might be home to angry carp. Don’t throw bread unless you’re ready for a splash!

Stambourne PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stambourne Playground in Brainting is keeping its cards close to its chest again. Very mysterious little patch of grass. Snap a picture of any odd clouds overhead for the album.
A cottage on Harrow HillMountain or hill · 3.0 miExplorer Tom A cottage on Harrow Hill? Sounds like a hermit’s den. Bet he’s been there since the last ice age. Wave at him if he waves back, or if not.
Footpath from Nosterfield End to Horseham HallHeritage place · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Footpath from Nosterfield End to Horseham Hall in Braintree sounds like a route for people who hate straight lines. It’s probably muddy, so wear boots or regret this choice later. Take a picture of your feet if they get stuck in the muck!
RAF MemorialMemorial · 3.4 miExplorer Tom RAF Memorial in Braintree is also known as the USAF Ridgewell Memorial. That's a bit of a double act, isn't it? Who exactly are we remembering? Get your camera out and find out!
