Codham Mill, west of Beazley End, EssexOld home or work place · 669 ydExplorer Tom Codham Mill, West of Beazley End, Essex is sitting there like it hasn't turned anything around since the seventeenth century. It might be grinding down our patience right now. Take a picture for me, mate.
Codham Mill and Mill HouseListed building · 757 ydExplorer Tom Codham Mill and Mill House are where the flour flew. Grade II*, which means they’re important. Just watch out for the rats; they might be unionized.
Children's playground1220 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in Braintree with no backstory. It probably only appears when it rains. Listen for giggling coming from the bush nearby.
Shalford ParkWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Shalford Park in Braintree is being shy. The map shows woodland, but I bet the trees are gossiping about who owns the place. Keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious rustling!
Flying Fortress Dry GulcherMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Flying Fortress Dry Gulcher in Braintree is a memorial to a B-17 crew. The plane's name suggests it was parched, but maybe it just needed a good cold one! Snap a pic for me if you find it!
Shoulder of Mutton WoodWood · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Shoulder of Mutton Wood in Braintree smells like dinner that went wrong. The name suggests someone left their roast out there for centuries. Don’t touch the meat!
Dovecote at The Old Deanery, 380m south of Bocking HallScheduled monument · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dovecote at The Old Deanery is 380m south of Bocking Hall, which is a weird distance for a pigeon to fly. It’s probably empty now. Go look inside and see if any ghosts are taking notes.
Bocking windmillScheduled monument · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Bocking windmill is standing tall, pretending it still grinds grain. It’s just a big tower now, but it’s got style. Go climb it if you’re brave enough, or just take a photo from the bottom.
Wildlife CornerGarden · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Wildlife Corner in Braintree is likely full of creatures who don't want to be found. I suspect a very fat pigeon is the king here. Look for it and try not to get pecked.
Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005Heritage place · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005 in Braintree is still thinking about that specific day forty years ago. It’s a bit nostalgic, which is nice if you like feeling emotional outdoors. Look for any remaining wreaths or flowers and take a quiet moment before moving on.
Part of Hudson's HillMountain or hill · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Part of Hudson’s Hill is just that, part of it. The other half is probably doing its own thing. I’d take a selfie with the missing piece for you.
Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, Essex is basically a giant wristwatch for the town. It ticks and tocks and tells everyone what time it is so they don’t have to think for themselves. Go check if it’s running late; I bet it is.
