The MaltingsListed building · 107 yd

Explorer Tom The Maltings in Breckland is where the beer magic used to happen, and it still smells faintly of hops if you know where to look. It's Grade II, so it's basically a monument to good old-fashioned brewing.

King's Head HotelListed building · 166 yd

Explorer Tom King's Head Hotel in Breckland sounds like where the nobility went to hide from their wives. Grade II listing means it's fancy, but probably still smells of old beer.

The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 468 yd

Explorer 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.

Mariners PlaiceAmusement arcade · 477 yd

Explorer Tom Mariners Plaice in Breckland is an amusement arcade with no real details, so I’m imagining it’s full of people trying to win a plush toy that looks suspiciously like a local farmer.

Statue of The Sacred HeartMonument or public art · 516 yd

Explorer Tom Statue of The Sacred Heart looks like it's thinking about its day job. It’s a monument to love and religion, which is a bit much for a Tuesday afternoon in Breckland. Take a picture of it looking slightly confused by the traffic noise.

Dereham : milestoneMonument or public art · 527 yd

Explorer Tom Dereham: milestone is just another stone pretending to be important in a town that has better things to do. It might tell you how far away the pub is, which would be handy. Give it a wave and keep moving on!

Bishop Bonner's CottageArchaeological place · 583 yd

Explorer Tom Bishop Bonner's Cottage in Breckland is named after a bishop, so expect some religious history. Access is unknown, so check before entering. It’s an archaeological place. Take a picture for me of the cottage. I bet it has character.

Scarning FenNature reserve · 1.0 mi

Explorer 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!

Wensum WayVisitor information · 1.7 mi

Explorer 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.

Lolly MoorNature reserve · 1.8 mi

Explorer 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!

Hoe CommonVisitor information · 2.4 mi

Explorer 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!

392nd Bomb Group MemorialMemorial · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom 392nd Bomb Group Memorial in Breckland marks the spot where those brave pilots dropped things from high up. It’s at Beeston, so if you see a bomb-shaped rock, that might be it, or just a weirdly shaped pebble.
