75 and 77, Church StreetListed building · 35 ydExplorer Tom Seventy-five and seventy-seven Church Street are sharing a secret. Listed together as Grade II, so they must be best mates. Who lives in there?
76, Church StreetListed building · 67 ydExplorer Tom Number 76 on Church Street is a Grade II number plate in disguise. It's probably the house where all the local legends start. If you see a cat staring, it knows something about the building that it won't tell you.
Children's playground162 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is hiding a secret tunnel under the slide. I crawled through once and found nothing but mud. Worth it though!
Paycocke's Tudor Coggeshall Walk, Paycocke's House and GardenWalking route · 437 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Paycocke's Tudor Coggeshall Walk, Paycocke's House and Garden in Braintree involves climbing over metal bars on a bridge. Very elegant. Watch your step! Get a picture of the Tudor house looking very proper.
Coggeshall AbbeyScheduled monument · 673 ydExplorer Tom Coggeshall Abbey in Braintree has walls that have heard every prayer ever said. I bet they’re tired now and just want some peace and quiet, honestly.
Essex Way MilestoneMonument or public art · 685 ydExplorer Tom Essex Way Milestone in Braintree is telling you how far you’ve walked, which is useful if you’re lost and tired. It’s not exactly exciting, but it does make you feel productive. Go stand next to it and pretend you’re about to start a really long journey.
Paycocke's House and GardenHeritage attraction · 700 ydExplorer Tom Paycocke's House and Garden in Braintree smells like old money and overwatered ferns. The garden looks like it’s judging your shoe choices from the shadows. Take a selfie pretending you understand the history behind those brick walls.
Grange Barn and Paycocke's House Circular Walk, Grange BarnWalking route · 1000 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Grange Barn and Paycocke's House Circular Walk, Grange Barn in Braintree has one of Europe's oldest timber buildings. Sounds fancy! The paths get boggy, so bring boots. Take a photo of that ancient barn!
Whalebone woodForest or wood · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Whalebone wood in Braintree has no whales, just bones and bad jokes. It’s probably haunted by a very confused marine mammal. Listen closely for splashes that definitely aren’t there.
Bungate WoodWood · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Bungate Wood has a byway that probably goes nowhere in particular. I bet it loops back on itself to confuse anyone who gets lost. If you end up where you started, don’t worry, that’s part of the charm!
Waterfall on Robins BrookWaterfall · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Waterfall on Robins Brook in Braintree is actually a real waterfall, which is cool for Essex. It’s not huge, but it’s there. Go find it and take a picture of the water rushing over the rocks!
