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.
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!
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone is probably napping in the grass. Nobody remembers who put it down or why. If you find it, tell it I said its posture needs work, mate!
Sturmer War MemorialMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Sturmer War Memorial in Braintree stands there looking vaguely confused about its own job. I bet it gets a lot of 'sorry, wrong town' energy from tourists. Snap a blurry pic if you can find it without getting lost first!
War MemorialMonument · 2.8 miExplorer Tom War Memorial in Ridgewell stands on The Green. It's a monument, not a person, but I bet it has opinions. Does it like the weather? Ask it and take a picture while you're at it!
East Town ParkPark · 2.8 miExplorer Tom East Town Park is just that, east. Very specific. Probably full of benches where people nap. Find the comfiest looking one and sit there for a minute.
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!
