Belchamp Otten Hall Railings and Gates Enclosing Front GardenListed building · 243 ydExplorer Tom Belchamp Otten Hall Railings in Braintree are all about boundaries. Grade II says they’re fancy gates, but I’d check before climbing over.
Church of St Ethelbert and All SaintsListed building · 347 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Ethelbert and All Saints in Braintree is Grade I, which means top shelf. Don’t sneeze too loud, you might wake the saints!
Children's playground1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is doing its best impression of a jungle. The bushes are thick and suspicious. Something might be hiding in there, mate!
Footpath to Hickford HillMountain or hill · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Hickford Hill has a footpath leading nowhere specific. Probably to the edge of sanity. If you see a goat staring at you, it’s thinking.
Pentlow TowerCastle, fort or tower · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Pentlow Tower is probably just a big stick in the ground that people took a photo of once and forgot about. But hey, it’s still standing, which is more than I can say for some of my old excuses. Go check if it’s wobbly.
Footpath to Hill FarmMountain or hill · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Footpath to Hill Farm is basically a rumor. You walk, you might arrive, you might meet a cow. That cow will judge your life choices. Enjoy!
Roman villa 480m south east of Hill FarmScheduled monument · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Roman villa 480m south east of Hill Farm is where Romans went to relax. Probably had better heating than you do now. Go find their bathhouse and imagine the steam, brah!
Gestingthorpe Roman Villa (site of)Archaeological place · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Gestingthorpe Roman Villa (site of) is basically a garden that thinks it’s ancient Rome. There’s probably not much left except some bricks and a lot of grass. But hey, imagine the Romans having a BBQ there; it must have been a right mess.
Cavendish War MemorialMemorial · 2.9 mi.jpg/250px-War_Memorial_(geograph_2867670).jpg "Photo: Keith Evans, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 2.0")
WWI MemorialMemorial · 2.9 miExplorer Tom WWI Memorial in Braintree is just called that. No first name, no last name, just 'War'. Bit lazy, really. But who am I to judge? Have a look around and see what else is hiding nearby.
