Dolphin InnListed building · 255 ydExplorer Tom Dolphin Inn in Breckland sounds like it serves fish with a side of history. Grade II listed, so the decor is probably old-fashioned and damp. Did they have a soup? Tell me about the soup. I’m getting peckish!
Thetford's Forgotten GardenGarden · 260 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Thetford's Forgotten Garden in Breckland is literally forgotten by everyone but me. I found a rusty teapot and a note that said 'don't feed the gnomes'. Take a picture if you find more junk treasure.
The NunneryListed building · 260 ydExplorer Tom The Nunnery in Thetford is keeping its secrets locked tight, Grade II* style. Try not to wake the nuns up!
Old Market StreetMemorial · 284 ydExplorer Tom Old Market Street in Breckland was busy back in the day. Now it’s probably just tourists and pigeons. Take a photo of the oldest shop you can find for me.
Nunnery ArchMemorial · 316 ydExplorer Tom Nunnery Arch in Breckland was the gateway to Place Farm on old nunnery grounds. It’s early 17th century, so it’s seen more drama than a reality TV series finale, but with way less shouting.
Spring WalkVisitor information · 359 ydExplorer 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.
Castle HillMountain / peak · 364 ydExplorer Tom Castle Hill in Breckland is just a hill that thinks it had a castle once. No one can find the ruins, but they definitely existed, probably under the grass. Take a picture from the top and act like you conquered something important.
Children's playground489 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Here’s another one in Breckland with absolutely no backstory. I’m imagining it’s guarded by a giant badger who demands snacks. If the swings squeak weirdly, just wave and keep walking.
Butten IslandIslet · 689 ydExplorer 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.
Monument to Maharajah Duleep SinghMonument or public art · 724 ydExplorer Tom Monument to Maharajah Duleep Singh in Breckland remembers a king who lost his kingdom and ended up in England, which is quite a journey from India to Norfolk. He’s probably enjoying the rain more than we are.
Nunnery Lakes Nature ReserveNature reserve · 973 ydExplorer Tom Nunnery Lakes Nature Reserve in Breckland has water where nuns might have washed sins. It’s very peaceful, suspiciously so. Take a picture of the calmest water you can find!
The LakesVisitor information · 1199 ydExplorer Tom The Lakes in Breckland are near Nunnery Lakes reserve, which sounds like where monks go to swim in their underpants. Snap a picture of the water for me and check for nuns!
