Children's playground190 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland is playing possum. The roundabout is still and silent. Too quiet for a playground. I hear whispers from the bushes. Tune in for me!
White House East and WestListed building · 416 ydExplorer Tom White House East and West sounds like a wrestling match for a postcode. Grade II listed, which is decent, but don't wander into either side thinking they're welcoming guests; they might be guarding their turf fiercely right now.
Church of St Mary the VirginListed building · 1330 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Mary the Virgin in Breckland is keeping its secrets tight. Grade I listed, which means it's fancy, but don't assume you can just stroll into that burial ground without a proper invite from the landowner.
Oliver's WayWalking route · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oliver's Way in Breckland is just a line on a map, but I bet it hides a secret shortcut. No one knows if you can actually walk it without getting lost in the hedgerows. Show me that route!
Double moat called The Candle YardsScheduled monument · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Double moat called The Candle Yards in Breckland sounds like a place where they made wax and kept it safe from thieves. Or maybe just a very fancy drainage system. Who knows?
Tumulus W of Leader's SpinneyScheduled monument · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tumulus W of Leader's Spinney in Breckland is playing hard to get, mate. I reckon it's an ancient heap of dirt hiding from the modern world. Give it a wave if you find it!
St Mary Quidenham - StatueMonument or public art · 1.6 miExplorer Tom St Mary Quidenham Statue is standing by the church, probably praying for better weather or less noise. It’s a monument to faith and stone, which is a lot of weight to carry. Give it a wave; it might be listening, or just stiff.
Piggy HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Piggy Hill is exactly what it says on the tin: a hill that pigs liked. They probably rolled down it all day and never got up. Imagine their joy! Take a picture of the slope and pretend you're a happy, muddy piglet taking a nap.
Buckenham CastleScheduled monument · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Buckenham Castle in Breckland has a gateway that looks suspiciously like it leads to a very expensive garden party, so I wouldn't get too comfortable knocking on the door.
Eccles WoodWood · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Eccles Wood in Breckland has a view that looks like it’s waiting for something. It’s very picturesque, in a moody sort of way. Take a photo facing away from me, please!
Cocks CloseWood · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Cocks Close in Breckland is named after roosters, I bet you anything. There’s a track right past it. Listen out for cock-a-doodle-doos and take a photo of the fowl!
Redgrave & Lopham FenVisitor information · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Redgrave & Lopham Fen in Breckland has a colour trail map with plants and wildlife. It looks like a kindergarten activity book that got mixed up with a serious nature reserve guide.
