Sugarhill CovertWood · 241 ydExplorer Tom Sugarhill Covert in Breckland sounds sweet, but it’s probably full of ants and dirt. The hill might be covered in sugar, or maybe that’s just a nice name. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Croxton Village SignPublic artwork · 1108 ydExplorer Tom Croxton Village Sign in Breckland is completely unremarkable on paper. I suspect it’s secretly a portal to another dimension, but you need a cheese grater to open it.
Church of All SaintsListed building · 1564 ydExplorer Tom Church of All Saints is hiding behind the street view. It’s Grade I, which basically means it’s been here longer than your grandad. Give it a wave and keep moving, mate.
Mickle HillScheduled monument · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Mickle Hill in Breckland is a big ol' mound that demands your attention. It stands tall over the landscape, acting like the boss of all the other hills nearby. Bow to its majesty.
Devil’s Punchbowl, Stanford Training AreaVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Devil’s Punchbowl at Stanford Training Area has a hole where the devil punched through. Watch out for artillery practice if you linger too long.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is guarding a very important secret: what’s actually under the grass. It’s probably nothing, but it’s trying its best to look scary. Don’t be fooled!
Wyrley's BeltWood · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Wyrley's Belt in Breckland sounds like it belongs to someone with very strong arms. Wyrley must have been a tough guy who liked his trees in order. Go check if he’s still around, but I doubt it!
Thetford Signal BoxListed building · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Thetford Signal Box in Breckland is keeping its own little secrets. I reckon it's been staring down the trains since forever, judging everyone who passes. Give me a wink if you see it!
The Old Town TheatreMemorial · 2.6 miExplorer Tom The Old Town Theatre in Breckland only lasted until 1833 before closing its curtains for good. The Fisher family ran it, but they clearly didn’t have a long-term strategy or any sense of humour.
Ancient House Museum of Thetford LifeMuseum · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Ancient House Museum of Thetford Life is basically a time capsule that forgot to label the rooms. They want you to experience 'life', which usually means smelling old socks and wondering why they kept everything. Take a peek at their very ancient dust bunnies.
The Ancient HouseMemorial · 2.6 miExplorer Tom The Ancient House in Breckland was gifted by a prince in 1921. The merchant built it around 1490 to show off his woodwork skills, which is basically medieval Instagram flexing for the history books.
Butten IslandIslet · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Butten Island is just an island, but it thinks it's a nation. No one knows who Butten was, maybe a very lost Viking? It’s surrounded by water, so don't go getting your feet wet unless you like mud pies.
