Courtauld Playing Fields

Explorer Tom Fen Road George V Postbox in Braintree is standing tall by the road. The land status is unknown, so don’t dig too deep into who owns it. Just give it a wave and carry on!

Explorer Tom Fenn Road George V Postbox in Braintree is confusing everyone with its spelling. It’s just a photo point, but be careful where you step. Take a picture for me if you pass by!

Explorer Tom Halstead Cemetery in Braintree looks like it’s waiting for a major renovation that never happens. The headstones are getting quite dusty, and the grass is definitely judging your choice of walking shoes right now.

Explorer Tom Halstead Town Football Club in Braintree is where the legends are born, or at least attempted. The grass looks greener than your chance of winning there. Kick a ball for luck!

Explorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?

Explorer Tom Oxley Wood in Braintree is looking along the field margin, judging your walking pace. It's near Halstead, which means it's probably pretentious about its location. Check the access, but don't expect a welcome mat. Snap the field edge for me and see what's hiding there.

Explorer Tom Threefield's Wood in Braintree is sharing its secrets with three different fields simultaneously. That’s too much multitasking for one bit of woodland. Give it a rest!

Explorer Tom Just a plain old Milestone hiding in Braintree. It looks like it forgot what it was supposed to count. Snap a photo before it wanders off to do its own thing.

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.

Explorer Tom St Andrew's Church graveyard in Braintree is standing guard over its secrets. No notes, no names, just ancient stone. If you see St Andrew pointing at something, follow his finger!

Explorer Tom This Old Milestone is playing hard to get again. It’s been sitting there since the last century judging everyone. Take a pic before it changes its mind about being cool.

Explorer Tom Earls Colne Village Sign in Braintree is acting like an aristocrat despite having zero biography. Who are these earls anyway? Probably hiding in the next field drinking stout. Look around for them.
