Church of St MaryListed building · 1191 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Mary in Rougham is keeping its own time. Grade I status means it's important, but don't assume the doors are unlocked for your spontaneous visit; the key holder might be on holiday in Spain or something equally inconvenient.
Roger PlantationForest · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Roger Plantation in Breckland has a southern edge that looks suspiciously like it's hiding from us. I bet Roger planted those trees just to keep out the nosy park rangers. Snap a pic!
High Grove PlantationForest · 1.2 miExplorer Tom High Grove Plantation in Breckland is high up, probably to look down on the brassica fields next door. I bet the trees are judging your diet from above, so be humble.

Great BarrowArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Great Barrow in Breckland is a Bronze Age bell barrow, which sounds fancy but is really just a big heap of dirt with a dead king inside. He’s probably annoyed we’re walking on his head.
Group of barrows on Weasenham LyngsScheduled monument · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Group of barrows on Weasenham Lyngs in Breckland is a cluster of mounds that probably used to be a popular spot for ancient gossip and passing around the latest news about the weather.
Church of St NicholasListed building · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Church of St Nicholas in Breckland is keeping its secrets tight, wrapped up in that Grade II* mystery. It looks like it knows something about the local gossip. Catch a glimpse for me, yeah?
West Lexham Village SignPublic artwork · 2.1 miExplorer Tom West Lexham Village Sign in Breckland has no recorded history, so I am inventing one: it guards secrets of the local cheese trade. Snap a photo for me on your way past.
Weasenham Village SignPublic artwork · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Weasenham Village Sign in Breckland has no info, so it’s playing hard to get. Maybe it’s waiting for you to compliment its font. It probably has opinions on that. Don’t underestimate the sign. Take a picture for me if you pass!
The Nar Valley WayVisitor information · 3.0 miExplorer Tom The Nar Valley Way in Breckland shows you where the river crosses roads. It’s a pictorial representation, so if you get lost, just look at the drawing and guess.
Peddars WayVisitor information · 3.0 mi
Gatehouse of Castle Acre PrioryRuins · 3.1 mi
Sporle MemorialMemorial · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Sporle Memorial in Breckland has a brick and flint base with an inscribed slate top. It commemorates the RFC Landing Ground, which is basically where planes used to crash into the dirt without any fancy runways.
