Bradenham Village SignPublic artwork · 1753 ydExplorer Tom Bradenham Village Sign in Breckland proudly displays 'EIIR 1953'. That’s Edward the Eighthth, or maybe a typo for Elizabeth? Either way, that king has been dead for ages.
Church of St MaryListed building · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Church of St Mary here is Grade I, which means it's basically the queen of churches. It probably thinks you're just there for the garden, not the history.
Edward VII postbox used as a domestic letter boxOld post box · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Edward VII postbox used as a domestic letter box in Breckland has been demoted to a houseguest status. It's no longer royal, just a regular letter slot. How does that feel? Take a photo of its new humble life!
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland thinks it’s the center of the universe. It’s got a bit of an ego, honestly. Tell it I said hi and maybe give it a nudge.
High GroveWood · 1.8 miExplorer Tom High Grove in Breckland sounds like the place where the cool kids hang out. It's near Bradenham, so maybe there are fairies guarding the best swings. Wave at them for me!
Wendling Village SignPublic artwork · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Wendling Village Sign in Breckland is celebrating 1945 with a 1995 plaque, which is either brilliant planning or a very slow commemoration. Take a selfie with it if you are passing by!
War MemorialMemorial · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Scarning War Memorial has a tall stone cross by the door. Looks like it’s waiting for someone to knock. Don’t get your hopes up, it might just be cold.
Honeypot WoodWood · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Honeypot Wood in Breckland definitely has bees, or at least the smell of honey. It’s sweet but sticky. Find a bee and take a picture before it stings your ego!
The Fransham Obelisk to Nelson and the Peace of 1814Monument or public art · 2.9 miExplorer Tom The Fransham Obelisk to Nelson and the Peace of 1814 in Breckland honors Nelson, who probably didn’t even know this village existed when he was fighting off pirates. It’s a tall tribute for a small, quiet corner of Norfolk.
ObeliskMemorial · 2.9 miExplorer Tom The Fransham Obelisk to Nelson and the Peace of 1814 is sticking its nose out. It’s been around longer than most people's grandparents. Touch it for luck!
FootpathVisitor information · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Footpath in Breckland is near Houghton St Mary's church, which is probably napping. The trackway looks ancient and judgemental. Whisper to the trees so they don't tell on me.
Peddars WayVisitor information · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Peddars Way in Breckland crosses the River Wissey, which is definitely not a river. It's a puddle with delusions of grandeur! Jump across it for luck, or at least for a good photo.
