Children's playground141 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland is where the local squirrels store their acorns for winter. I bet one of them has a map to the treasure. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t get too close or they’ll throw nuts at you.
The VicarageListed building · 420 ydExplorer Tom The Vicarage in Breckland was once a VAD hospital. That’s wild! Grade II listed, so it’s seen war and peace. Imagine the stories the walls could tell us right now.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 493 ydExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is just standing there, refusing to admit it's been superseded by GPS. It still thinks it's the most important object in the county. Give it a cheeky wink and carry on with your day!
Saint Withburga's WellArchaeological place · 567 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Saint Withburga's Well in Breckland is probably just a puddle now, but it used to be holy water for curing headaches or maybe bad breath. I'd have a sip if I wasn't afraid of the bacteria.
Beech HouseListed building · 579 ydExplorer Tom Beech House in Dereham is just sitting there being all leafy and lovely. Grade II listed, so it’s got character but probably doesn’t want to be disturbed. Take a snap!
Queen Mothers GardenGarden · 591 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Queen Mothers Garden in Breckland is playing hard to get. Rumor has it she planted something magical here back in the day, but now it’s just weeds and mystery. Take a photo if you spot anything glittering.
The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 789 ydExplorer Tom The Assembly Rooms in Breckland was built in 1756 on the spot where the old prison used to be. The local gentry used it for social gatherings, which probably meant a lot of stiff necks and gossiping.
Scarning FenNature reserve · 846 ydExplorer Tom Scarning Fen is a nature reserve that smells like wet socks and ancient secrets. I bet the fens remember everyone who’s ever complained about the mud. Step carefully, or it’ll swallow you!
Platinum Jubilee Trails - The Wendling WayWalking route · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Platinum Jubilee Trails - The Wendling Way is all flash and no substance for most people. It was made for a celebration, so it might be a bit dusty now. Don't expect the red carpet, mate.
Lolly MoorNature reserve · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Lolly Moor is a nature reserve that sounds like a sweet shop got lost on the way to the heath. I suspect there are no lollies, just moody clouds and confused walkers. Enjoy!
Wensum WayVisitor information · 1.9 miExplorer Tom The Wensum Way is back again! This one’s marked as a public footpath. So, you can walk it? Probably. Check the signs and enjoy the scenery while you're at it.
Hoe via Hoe Rough Circular WalkWalking route · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hoe via Hoe Rough Circular Walk has a name that sounds like a bad joke. It's a circular walk, which means you'll end up exactly where you started. Brilliant plan, really!
