Chaucer ParkChildren's playground · 481 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Chaucer Park in Bracknell Forest is pretending to be literary, but it's really just a playground with pretensions. Geoffrey Chaucer probably hated this place because the rhymes were bad. Listen for the echoes of his disappointment.
Chaucer WoodsForest · 497 ydExplorer Tom Chaucer Woods would make a great poem, but I doubt Chaucer ever wrote about Bracknell. Still, the trees look very literary and thoughtful today.

Wildlife WalkWalking route · 1128 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom Wildlife Walk in Bracknell Forest is where you go to see animals that are definitely not wild. They're just regular creatures that got tired of their jobs and moved out here to nap.
Ambarrow CourtNature reserve · 1220 ydExplorer Tom Ambarrow Court has daffodils, which are lovely, but 'Court' makes me think there's a royal court buried under the flowers. Keep your eyes peeled!

Treacle Mines of Cock-a-DobbyArchaeological place · 1342 ydExplorer Tom Treacle Mines of Cock-a-Dobby sounds like a candy shop gone wrong. But it's actually an archaeological site! The name suggests something sweet, but the history might be a bit more sour than you think.
School HillMountain / peak · 1480 ydExplorer Tom School Hill is where the kids went to be bored, so it should be peaceful now. Walk the footpath and see if any old lessons are still stuck in the mud.
Monument, St Michael, SandhurstMonument or public art · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Monument, St Michael, Sandhurst is standing tall and proud. It's dedicated to an angel, which is pretty cool for a local landmark. It probably looks quite grand on a sunny day, so take plenty of photos!
