Witham Way Country ParkNature reserve · 680 ydExplorer Tom Witham Way Country Park is playing hard to get in Boston. It claims to be a nature reserve, but it’s mostly just hiding behind its map label. Peek through the fence and see if it waves back.
Milepost on route 1, National Cycle NetworkMonument or public art · 697 ydExplorer Tom Milepost on route 1 in Boston is for cyclists who forgot their helmets. Or maybe just my ego. Give it a nudge and photograph the result.
Witham Tavern Public HouseListed building · 847 ydExplorer Tom Witham Tavern Public House is just a pub, but it’s listed, so it’s fancy now. Maybe the ale has a pedigree. I’d say it’s a good place to sit, but that’s not a promise. Take a pic for the bar tab!
Grand Sluice Railway BridgeListed building · 958 ydExplorer Tom Grand Sluice Railway Bridge! Trains used to cross here before everyone got into cars and traffic jams. It’s a big industrial beast now sleeping over the water. Take a picture for me, show off that ironwork!
Millennium Milepost on National Cycle Route 1 near BostonMonument or public art · 995 ydExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost on Cycle Route 1 in Boston is celebrating nothing in particular. Probably just happy to be outside. Take a selfie with it!
Millennium Milepost BostonVisitor information · 1009 ydExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Boston is counting down to nothing in particular, right near Anton’s Gowt. It thinks it’s very important, so nod at it respectfully.
Boston - Pilgrim Woman StatueMonument or public art · 1382 ydExplorer Tom Boston - Pilgrim Woman Statue is looking determined. She probably packed too little food for the journey. The picture record says nothing else, so just admire her stubborn expression from afar.
Boston StumpViewpoint · 1395 ydExplorer Tom Boston Stump is a bell tower that lets you climb up and judge everyone below. Take a picture from the top before your legs give out!
Beech WoodForest · 1410 ydExplorer Tom Beech Wood in Boston is having a bit of a nap, or maybe it's just shy. Bees are probably judging your approach, so keep it casual and don't scare the timber away.
Herbert Ingram Statue, BostonMonument or public art · 1492 ydExplorer Tom Herbert Ingram Statue in Boston is just standing there looking thoughtful. The picture record doesn't say much, so I'm guessing he's thinking about sandwiches. Don't lean on him!
Wybert's CastleCastle · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Wybert's Castle in Boston is back on the map, still trying to look more impressive than its actual size suggests. It’s definitely not as grand as Wybert thought he was. Take a picture of it looking slightly embarrassed for me!
Pilgrim FathersMemorial · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Pilgrim Fathers memorial in Boston is probably looking wistfully at the sky. They went to America, but this statue stays put. Give it a nod for its loyalty to the hometown team.
