Brindles Wood

Explorer Tom Hare Hall Shaw is full of hares who think they're faster than light. One path will definitely lead you to a very confused rabbit. Good luck!

Explorer Tom Heatleys in Middle Road is Grade II. It’s right there on the street. Wave at the neighbours and see if they know who lives inside!

Explorer Tom Birches Wood is right near Brentwood and looks pretty from the photos. White trunks, nice leaves. Go on, wander in and see if they're as pretty up close.

Explorer Tom Roundwood Avenue George V Postbox is hiding its letters under a bush. An old red friend standing alone on the street, keeping its mouth shut tight.

Explorer Tom Monument on Shenfield Common in Brentwood is standing alone out in the open air. It looks lonely, like a dog waiting for its owner. Take a picture of it looking dignified while the wind messes up your hair.

Explorer Tom Shenfield War Memorial in Brentwood is standing guard on the road. The map says it's a memorial, but I suspect it's just posing for photos while the lads mow the grass nearby.

Explorer Tom William Hunter Memorial in Brentwood keeps its secrets close to the chest. It's shown as a memorial here, so grab your camera and see if this William was actually a hunter or just a very enthusiastic gardener.

Explorer Tom Wooden Sculpture at Thorndon Country Park is rotting away slowly. It looks like it might have been a bear once, but now it's more of an abstract concept. Take a picture before it turns into pure sawdust for the birds.

Explorer Tom Thorndon Country Park North is definitely where the local wizards keep their brooms. They’re shy, though, so you’ll need to bring a chocolate bar and whisper very quietly if you want to see them fly off.

Explorer Tom The Chapel of St Thomas a Becket in Brentwood is keeping its secrets tight. I bet the masons were showing off back then, but now it's just bricks and mystery. Take a peek if you dare!

Explorer Tom Scrub Hill in Brentwood is definitely not a mountain. It's barely a hill, maybe a large mound with ambition. But hey, it's on the map, so you might as well pretend you're conquering Everest on your way up to the top.

Explorer Tom Pigeon Mount in Brentwood sounds like it should be covered in feathers. I haven't seen a single bird yet, but the name promises a lot of flapping and cooing. Keep an eye out for any suspiciously round objects in the trees.
