Foxley War Memorial, including railingsListed building · 453 ydExplorer Tom Foxley War Memorial in Breckland is fenced off, probably because it’s too important for the sheep to graze on. It looks like it’s guarding something precious right there. Take a picture for me!
Foxley Village SignPublic artwork · 461 ydExplorer Tom Foxley Village Sign in Breckland has no details. I’m convinced it’s actually a fox that’s been stuck there since the seventies, just waiting for someone to offer it a biscuit.
Church of St ThomasListed building · 630 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Thomas is keeping a low profile. Grade II* status means it's pretty special, but that doesn't mean the interior is open for your personal tour; check if the vicar has left a note saying 'closed' before you step inside.
Bawdeswell Village SignPublic artwork · 1638 ydExplorer Tom Bawdeswell Village Sign in Breckland looks friendly but hides deep secrets within its wooden frame. I bet the letters glow in the dark at midnight. Snap a photo of the details for me!
Foxley WoodVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Foxley Wood is hiding the foxes. Or maybe just the lost hikers who wandered in last Tuesday and never came back out.
Stone milestone on B1145Monument or public art · 1.9 miExplorer 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.
Sparhamhole PlantationWood · 2.0 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!
Old Milepost by the A1067, Twyford, Bintree parishMonument or public art · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Old Milepost by the A1067, Twyford, Bintree parish is probably counting how many trucks have rumbled past since the last century. It's definitely seen some things that would make your head spin. Snap a pic for me before it falls over!
Community PathsVisitor information · 2.2 mi
New PlantationWood · 4.4 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.
The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 5.7 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.
Mileham CastleScheduled monument · 7.4 miExplorer Tom Mileham Castle in Breckland is basically a big dirt pile pretending to be architecture, which is exactly how I'd describe my own life choices after three pints.
