Explorer Tom Lych -gate st. Andrew's church, White Colne has a gate that looks like it’s waiting for a knight. I bet one is hiding right behind it. Snap a quick pic before he moves!

Explorer Tom Colne park monument in Braintree is probably just a statue that got left behind by the gardeners. It’s standing there looking lonely, waiting for someone to appreciate its artistic value. Go give it a pat on the head; it’ll like that, I promise.

Explorer Tom Chalkney Wood has a main ride that sounds like it’s for people who like to bump into each other. I bet the trees are still bruised from all the horse traffic. Look for hoof prints that look suspiciously like footprints.

Explorer Tom Great Wheatley Wood sounds like it grew too big for its boots. 'Great' implies it thinks it's important, but it's just trees in Braintree. The map shows it heading somewhere, but where? Maybe to the next pub. Take a photo of the direction it's leaning and tell me if it's tired.

Explorer Tom Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine in Braintree is full of quiet folks. Access is unknown, so don’t wander too far in unless you want to be stuck with the ghosts.

Explorer Tom The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine is definitely trying to outdo everyone else on the block. It’s got that ‘look at me, I’m tall’ energy. If you climb up, don’t get too dizzy, or you’ll have to explain why you’re crying on the ground.
