High Hall

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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!

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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!

Explorer Tom Forest in the making in Braintree sounds like a construction site that forgot to hire the lumberjacks. The saplings are definitely plotting world domination right now, so don't get too comfy or you're next!

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Village sign in Braintree is acting very dignified. It stands straighter than most people I know, which says a lot. Capture that posture of pure confidence for the record!

Explorer 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.
