Church of St BartholomewListed building · 22 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Bartholomew in Breckland sounds like it has a history of headaches. Grade I means it’s precious, like my last slice of cake. If you hear chanting, cover your ears; some hymns are surprisingly loud and intense.
Brisley Village SignPublic artwork · 48 ydExplorer Tom Brisley Village Sign in Breckland is completely silent on the record. I reckon it’s got a secret past as a pirate ship that just washed ashore and decided to stay put.
Children's playground281 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in Breckland looks like it hasn’t seen a child since the dinosaurs walked. I found a single shoe under the slide. Whose is it? Your call, mate.
St Margaret's StanfieldVisitor information · 1428 ydExplorer Tom St Margaret's Stanfield is holy ground, allegedly. The priest might be napping, so whisper your prayers or wake him with a shout.
Church of St MargaretListed building · 1459 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Margaret in Breckland is standing tall while everyone else naps. Grade I status means it’s fancy, like wearing a suit to the beach. Peek inside if you dare; I heard the pews sing when the wind blows.
Earthworks 500yds (450m) E of churchScheduled monument · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthworks east of church in Breckland are just sitting there looking mysterious. You’d think they’d be doing something dramatic, but no, they’re just mounds. I’d bet there’s a story behind them that someone lost in a pub quiz question ages ago.
Earthworks N of Gateley HallScheduled monument · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthworks north of Gateley Hall in Breckland look like someone drew circles in the dirt and called it a day. Probably some old fort or farm, but now it’s just bumps in the field that trip up anyone who walks too fast.
Sinclair's GroveWood · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Sinclair's Grove in Breckland is bordered by a weedy field that looks like it hasn't been mowed since the Victorian era. It smells of damp earth and old stories. Snap a photo!
Fox CovertWood · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Fox Covert in Breckland is obviously where the foxes go to gossip and plan their next heist. The conifers look very serious about keeping secrets. Wave at a fox for me.
North Elmham ChapelVisitor information · 2.3 miExplorer Tom North Elmham Chapel in Breckland is standing there looking smug and old. I bet the ghosts are bored stiff. Take a photo of this spooky little chapel!
Mileham CastleScheduled monument · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Mileham Castle in Breckland is basically a big dirt pile pretending to be architecture, which is exactly how I'd describe my own life choices after three pints.
Gressenhall/Beetley CircularWalking route · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gressenhall/Beetley Circular in Breckland sounds like two villages holding hands and refusing to let go. It’s definitely circular, so don’t worry about getting stuck. Take a photo of the loop!
