Scoulton War MemorialListed building · 1171 ydExplorer Tom Scoulton War Memorial is hiding in plain sight. The records are vague as usual, so maybe it’s actually a statue of a giant carrot? No idea. Just check if it’s still there.
Church of Holy TrinityListed building · 1195 ydExplorer Tom Church of Holy Trinity in Breckland is Grade I, which means it's absolutely ancient and precious. It doesn't care if you're there; it was here before your great-great-grandparents were born.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 1557 ydExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is pretending to be a modern art piece to confuse people. It’s actually just tired. Give it a rest and a high-five on your way past!
Milestone west of ScoultonMonument or public art · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Milestone west of Scoulton is out in the sticks, probably talking to the sheep about old times. I bet the sheep think it's just another rock, but it has miles on it. Say hello and don't let it get lonely!
Carbrooke Village SignPublic artwork · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Carbrooke Village Sign in Breckland just says 'WI'. That stands for Women's Institute, or maybe Wifi? If it’s Wifi, why is there no password on it?
Griston Village SignPublic artwork · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Griston Village Sign in Breckland is playing dumb. No inscriptions, no history, just a blank canvas waiting for my graffiti. I’m tempted. Take a picture before I do something cheeky!
Wayland WoodWood · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Wayland Wood in Breckland sounds like a place where fairies live. It’s probably full of ancient oaks judging you for being late. Don’t let the branches slap your face!
War MemorialMemorial · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Cranworth War Memorial has an angel on top. She looks tired, probably from all that hovering. If she winks at you, tell her I said hi from the ground.
The Manor HouseMemorial · 2.8 miExplorer Tom The Manor House in Watton was part of a huge complex once. Now it’s just... more house. I bet the ghosts are fighting over who gets the best window seat.
The Pingo TrailVisitor information · 2.9 miExplorer Tom The Pingo Trail in Breckland says pingos mean small hills in Inuit, which is funny because they’re actually holes. Language can be such a bullshitter. Show me one of these little basins!
Pingo TrailVisitor information · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Pingo Trail in Breckland has another sign about Breaking New Ground with HLF support, so it is basically a sponsored walk through history. Snap a photo of the path for me!
Stebbing's GroveWood · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Stebbing's Grove in Breckland is named after someone important, I'm sure. Probably a guy who loved trees more than his own children. He'd be proud to see you out here today.
