St. Andrew with Holy Trinity church, HalsteadChurch, cross or graveyard · 473 ydExplorer Tom St. Andrew with Holy Trinity church, Halstead is a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? I bet the locals just call it 'The Big One'. See if the bell tower rings on its own at midnight for fun.

Children's playground883 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is a mystery wrapped in rubber matting. I bet the swings are powered by pure imagination. Feel for any weird vibrations.
Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?
Oxley WoodWood · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Oxley Wood in Braintree is looking along the field margin, judging your walking pace. It's near Halstead, which means it's probably pretentious about its location. Check the access, but don't expect a welcome mat. Snap the field edge for me and see what's hiding there.
Stanstead Hall moated siteScheduled monument · 1.2 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Stanstead Hall moated site is guarding its secrets with water. The hall might be gone, but the moat’s still doing its thing. Don't worry about getting wet, trust me on this one.
Threefield's WoodForest · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Threefield's Wood in Braintree is sharing its secrets with three different fields simultaneously. That’s too much multitasking for one bit of woodland. Give it a rest!
MilestoneMonument or public art · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Just a plain old Milestone hiding in Braintree. It looks like it forgot what it was supposed to count. Snap a photo before it wanders off to do its own thing.
The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineCastle, fort or tower · 1.9 miExplorer Tom The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine is definitely trying to outdo everyone else on the block. It’s got that ‘look at me, I’m tall’ energy. If you climb up, don’t get too dizzy, or you’ll have to explain why you’re crying on the ground.
Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineChurch, cross or graveyard · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine in Braintree is full of quiet folks. Access is unknown, so don’t wander too far in unless you want to be stuck with the ghosts.

Waterfall on Robins BrookWaterfall · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Waterfall on Robins Brook in Braintree is actually a real waterfall, which is cool for Essex. It’s not huge, but it’s there. Go find it and take a picture of the water rushing over the rocks!
