Worthing MillListed building · 318 ydExplorer Tom Worthing Mill in Breckland is probably grinding its gears about being forgotten. It’s listed Grade II, which means it’s got industrial charm. Listen closely; you might hear the ghost of a flour sack sighing.
Stone milestone on B1145Monument or public art · 1192 ydExplorer Tom Stone milestone on B1145 is sitting there looking ancient and slightly confused by modern road markings. It probably thinks those yellow lines are an insult to its stone dignity. Take a picture for me if you can find it.
The LodgeListed building · 1588 ydExplorer Tom The Lodge in Breckland is pretending to be mysterious, but it’s just shy. A rumour says a ghost lives in the pantry, probably hungry for stale biscuits. Check if the doorbell works or just knock politely and run away fast.
Fish sculpture, fishing lakes, BillingfordPublic sculpture · 1622 ydExplorer Tom Fish sculpture, Billingford is swimming through the air next to the lakes. It’s made of metal or stone, so it's not very flexible for its profession. Snap a shot of it pretending to be wet while I pretend I didn't know it was fake.
North Elmham Village SignPublic artwork · 1647 ydExplorer Tom North Elmham Village Sign in Breckland is keeping things very mysterious with no details. I suspect it's actually a giant cheese wheel in disguise. Or maybe just wood. Either way, it looks tasty. Take a photo before you get hungry!
North Elmham ChapelVisitor information · 1677 ydExplorer Tom North Elmham Chapel in Breckland is standing there looking smug and old. I bet the ghosts are bored stiff. Take a photo of this spooky little chapel!
Ruined Church and Manor HouseListed building · 1678 ydExplorer Tom Ruined Church and Manor House in Breckland is guarding its Saxon cathedral secrets like a dragon on a pile of gold. I bet the walls are still whispering old stories about nobles who lost their way.
Old Milestone by the B1110, North ElmhamMonument or public art · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone by the B1110, North Elmham is guarding the road like a very old, very grumpy doorman. I bet it checks every car's distance before letting them pass, just for fun. See if you can spot it from the pavement.
Hoe CommonVisitor information · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Hoe Common was born in an Inclosure Act of 1811. It used to be for the poor, gathering gorse for fuel. Now it’s rare acidic heathland. Respect its history and beauty!
New PlantationWood · 2.1 miExplorer Tom New Plantation in Breckland has a path running through it from High House Road. It looks like a proper walkway for strolling gentlemen. Don't get lost and become a local legend.
Sparhamhole PlantationWood · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Sparhamhole Plantation has a view that might be looking at you back. The trees seem to be leaning in, listening to the wind tell stories about old Sparham. Take a photo if you dare!
The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 4.3 miExplorer 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.
