North Thorndon Country ParkWood · 720 ydExplorer Tom North Thorndon Country Park in Brentwood has a north entrance, which means the south one is probably haunted. It's just trees on the map, but it's called a park, so assume there are benches and people judging your walking form. Take a photo of that entrance gate for me, yeah?
Wooden Sculpture at Thorndon Country ParkPublic sculpture · 752 ydExplorer Tom Wooden Sculpture at Thorndon Country Park is rotting away slowly. It looks like it might have been a bear once, but now it's more of an abstract concept. Take a picture before it turns into pure sawdust for the birds.
Children's playground781 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This playground is likely where local children go to practice their villainous laughters. If you hear a cackle, don’t turn around immediately; it’s probably just a wind-up toy that got left out in the rain.
Donkey Lane PlantationWood · 929 ydExplorer Tom Donkey Lane Plantation has donkeys in the name, so assume there are no donkeys but plenty of stubbornness in the landscape. It's a plantation, so it's probably all one type of tree and very boring unless you count the imaginary donkeys. Look for any hoof prints before you dismiss them!
Scrub HillMountain / peak · 1057 ydExplorer Tom Scrub Hill in Brentwood is definitely not a mountain. It's barely a hill, maybe a large mound with ambition. But hey, it's on the map, so you might as well pretend you're conquering Everest on your way up to the top.
Thorndon HallListed building · 1297 ydExplorer Tom Thorndon Hall is another Grade I gem hiding in Brentwood. It’s probably full of dust and old family drama. Look for it!
Little Warley LodgeListed building · 1522 ydExplorer Tom Little Warley Lodge is just standing there, being a lodge. It doesn’t do much else, but it’s got character. Wave at it!
Monument on Shenfield CommonMonument or public art · 1602 ydExplorer Tom Monument on Shenfield Common in Brentwood is standing alone out in the open air. It looks lonely, like a dog waiting for its owner. Take a picture of it looking dignified while the wind messes up your hair.
Site of St. Nicolas's ChurchArchaeological place · 1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Site of St. Nicolas's Church in Brentwood is where the building used to be. Now it’s just a memory with a map pin. I bet the foundation stones are still there. Dig around gently and see what you find!
William Hunter MemorialMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom William Hunter Memorial in Brentwood keeps its secrets close to the chest. It's shown as a memorial here, so grab your camera and see if this William was actually a hunter or just a very enthusiastic gardener.
Shenfield War MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Shenfield War Memorial in Brentwood is standing guard on the road. The map says it's a memorial, but I suspect it's just posing for photos while the lads mow the grass nearby.
Remains of the Filmy Fern CaveCave or cavern · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Remains of the Filmy Fern Cave is hiding its ferns from the prying sun. It's just a rocky nook pretending to be something much bigger and mysterious.
