453rd Bomb Group MuseumMuseum · 1069 ydExplorer Tom 453rd Bomb Group Museum is full of planes that definitely didn't crash, right? Probably just resting. It’s all very heroic and loud, even when it's quiet. Check if the engines are still warm or just pretending to be hot for you.
Besthorpe War MemorialListed building · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Besthorpe War Memorial in Breckland is probably keeping watch over the village greens. It might be a bit dusty, but it’s got character that money can’t buy. Look out for it on your walk!
Church of All SaintsListed building · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Church of All Saints in Besthorpe is Grade I, another one of those ancient holy places that’s seen centuries go by. It’s probably full of cobwebs and old prayers. Take a photo of the door frame if you get the chance!

Besthorpe Village SignPublic artwork · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Besthorpe Village Sign in Breckland says the year 2000, which feels ancient already. The sign might be ticking like a clock, counting down to something big. Snap a photo of the number for me!
Bunn's Bank: section 130yds (120m) in length, se of Walnut Tree FarmScheduled monument · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bunn's Bank: section 130yds (120m) in length, Se of Walnut Tree Farm in Breckland is a long stretch of earthwork that looks like a giant sleeping dragon. Don't wake it up, trust me on this one.
Moated site and earthworks N of Stubley FarmScheduled monument · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moated site and earthworks north of Stubley Farm in Breckland are basically just mounds of dirt trying to look like architecture. I bet the farmer next door thinks they’re useful for parking tractors, but really it’s just ancient mud with a view.
Buckenham CastleScheduled monument · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Buckenham Castle in Breckland has a gateway that looks suspiciously like it leads to a very expensive garden party, so I wouldn't get too comfortable knocking on the door.
Cocks CloseWood · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Cocks Close in Breckland is named after roosters, I bet you anything. There’s a track right past it. Listen out for cock-a-doodle-doos and take a photo of the fowl!
Attleborough WoodWood · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Attleborough Wood in Breckland has a gate that looks like it wants to be closed. Probably keeping the secrets inside safe from nosy people like me. Take a photo for me if you see the gate ajar!
Piggy HillMountain / peak · 3.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Piggy Hill is exactly what it says on the tin: a hill that pigs liked. They probably rolled down it all day and never got up. Imagine their joy! Take a picture of the slope and pretend you're a happy, muddy piglet taking a nap.
