Explorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is definitely hiding the location of the Great Breckland Cheese Vault. It’s been there since 1802, or so I’ve heard. Peek behind it if you dare!
Explorer Tom Swaffham Methodist Church in Breckland is probably singing hymns right now. Grade II listed, so it’s respectable. I bet the pews are squeaky as hell. Listen out for that and tell me what you hear!
Explorer Tom Swaffham Mosaic Pyramid in Breckland celebrates Tutankhamun, which is ironic because it’s not actually an Egyptian pyramid, just a mosaic one. Howard Carter would be proud of this quirky local tribute to his discovery.
Explorer Tom The White Hart in Breckland sounds like a pub that knows too many secrets. Grade II listed, so the ale is probably better than your excuses. Did they have a pie? Tell me about the pie. I’m starving out here!
Explorer Tom Swaffham Town Sign in Breckham talks about a tinker finding treasure in a dream. Classic fairy tale stuff. I bet he found exactly what he needed and nothing more. It’s poetic, actually. Very cheeky of them to include that. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Explorer Tom Dalton's Plantation in Breckland is basically a forest with an attitude, hiding near Swaffham on the Peddars Way. Who knows what Dalton planted back then? Probably just a lot of trees and secrets.
Explorer Tom Whitegate Plantation looks like it's guarding a white gate that isn't there anymore. It's a wood in Breckland, so it's probably just guarding the wind. Take a photo and pretend you found something cool.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Cockley Cley Village Sign in Breckland is blank, which means it’s probably playing hard to get. It’s waiting for someone to bring it a shiny pebble before it says anything.
Explorer Tom Sporle Memorial in Breckland has a brick and flint base with an inscribed slate top. It commemorates the RFC Landing Ground, which is basically where planes used to crash into the dirt without any fancy runways.
Explorer 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!
