Parkhall WoodWood · 1237 ydExplorer Tom Parkhall Wood is pretending to be fancy. It's near a park, so it thinks it's superior to the rest of us. But trees are trees, mate. Check if there's a gate that locks, because I bet there is. Send me a pic of the prettiest branch.
Baker's cottage by Baker's FarmOld home or work place · 1354 ydExplorer Tom Baker's cottage smells like stale bread and mystery. I bet the baker only bakes for ghosts, which explains why it looks so abandoned.
Children's playground1583 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in Braintree, because apparently we need more places for kids to cry. The sandbox might hold ancient secrets. Dig deep but don't get buried alive by your own curiosity.
Village Hall at Blackmore End, EssexHeritage place · 1588 ydExplorer Tom Village Hall at Blackmore End is where the village committee argues about bin collections. It’s a heritage spot, but probably locked. Listen for the sound of frustration.
Brake's WoodWood · 1729 ydExplorer Tom Brake's Wood sounds like it’s stuck with its foot on the brake pedal. I bet it never wants to move anywhere fast. Take your time getting through there, because it will match your pace exactly and grumble.
Well house and donkey wheel at Gosfield HallScheduled monument · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Well house and donkey wheel at Gosfield Hall in Braintree involves a donkey walking in circles forever. Poor beast, probably complaining about the repetitive exercise routine.
Flying Fortress Dry GulcherMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Flying Fortress Dry Gulcher in Braintree is a memorial to a B-17 crew. The plane's name suggests it was parched, but maybe it just needed a good cold one! Snap a pic for me if you find it!
Part of Hudson's HillMountain or hill · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Part of Hudson’s Hill is just that, part of it. The other half is probably doing its own thing. I’d take a selfie with the missing piece for you.
Bocking WindmillVisitor attraction · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Bocking Windmill in Braintree is spinning its wheels or maybe not. I can’t tell from here! It looks grand though. Get a photo of it standing tall while it pretends to work hard.
Old MilepostMonument or public art · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Old Milepost is pretending to be a serious historical landmark. Honestly, it’s just a stick with numbers on it. But hey, if you look close enough, maybe it’s telling you something deep.
Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?
Water Tower, just north of Wethersfield, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Water Tower, Just north of Wethersfield, Essex is holding up the sky, or so I think. It’s tall and lonely. Go take a photo with your back to it so it looks like you’re supporting it.
