Explorer Tom Barnham Cross in Breckland stands alone on common land, looking very smug about it. It’s seen centuries of farmers arguing over fences and probably heard every bad joke ever told in Norfolk history.
Explorer 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!
Explorer Tom Barnham Cross Common in Breckland has a picture caption but no real info, so it might be full of sheep or ghosts. Take a wide shot of the common for me!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Thetford Cemetery is probably full of local legends. I bet someone buried a treasure chest in there. Dig around and tell me what you find!
Explorer 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.
