Horningtoft Village SignPublic artwork · 15 ydExplorer Tom Horningtoft Village Sign in Breckland talks about a cricketer born in 1806 named Fuller Pilch. Sounds like my uncle’s dog. Take a picture of the church it mentions, bet it’s spooky.
Church of St EdmundListed building · 65 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Edmund in Breckland is standing by Horningtoft, looking very serious. Grade II*, so it’s got some weight to it. Bet the reading desk is wobbly. Lean on it and see if it falls over! Tell me what happens!
Whissonsett Village SignPublic artwork · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Whissonsett Village Sign in Breckland is completely silent on its background, so I am guessing it was carved by a very lazy medieval monk. Give it a nod for me when you pass.
Church of St MaryListed building · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Church of St Mary in Breckland is hiding behind some very aggressive bushes. Grade II* suggests it’s worth looking at, even from a distance. If you see a gardener, don’t panic; he’s probably just protecting his roses fiercely.
Sinclair's GroveWood · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Sinclair's Grove in Breckland is bordered by a weedy field that looks like it hasn't been mowed since the Victorian era. It smells of damp earth and old stories. Snap a photo!
St Margaret's StanfieldVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom St Margaret's Stanfield is holy ground, allegedly. The priest might be napping, so whisper your prayers or wake him with a shout.
Fox CovertWood · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Fox Covert in Breckland is obviously where the foxes go to gossip and plan their next heist. The conifers look very serious about keeping secrets. Wave at a fox for me.
Millennium Milepost, National Cycle Route 1Monument or public art · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost, National Cycle Route 1 is all flash and newness while the old stones gather dust. I bet it thinks cycling is a serious business, but we both know it's just sweaty fun. Take a photo with your bike!
Mileham CastleScheduled monument · 2.6 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.
Sustrans milepostMonument or public art · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Sustrans milepost in Breckland is just a post telling you how far you’ve walked, which is handy if you’re getting lost and tired. I’ll read it to see if I’m closer to home or further into the wilderness of doubt.
North Elmham ChapelVisitor information · 3.4 miExplorer 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!
Fakenham MillMemorial · 4.0 mi
