Little Lodge Farm, Castle Hedingham, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Little Lodge Farm, Castle Hedingham, Essex sounds like a tiny hotel for lords. It’s probably just fields now. Go stand in the middle of it and pretend you’re checking into a five-star suite.
Waterfall on Robins BrookWaterfall · 3.6 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!
