Maze PlantationWood · 499 ydExplorer Tom Maze Plantation in Braintree is literally a maze. I got lost finding the fence line already. The trees are plotting to confuse you too. Bring a compass and a lot of patience, it's tricky in there!
Grounds Keeper's CottageOld home or work place · 525 ydExplorer Tom Grounds Keeper's Cottage is probably where the gardening gnomes hold their meetings. Very serious business, very muddy boots. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Moyns ParkListed building · 678 ydExplorer Tom Moyns Park in Braintree is a Grade I showpiece that looks like it hasn't moved since the Victorian era. The trees are probably holding council meetings about how much shade they provide.
Park WoodWood · 859 ydExplorer Tom Park Wood looks nice from the air, but down here it's just mud and mystery. Don't trust the pretty views; check every fence before stepping in.

It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom London to Walsingham - stage 04 in Braintree is part of a massive pilgrimage walk. Stage four sounds serious business!

Dovecote at Blois FarmScheduled monument · 1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Dovecote at Blois Farm is where the doves live. They’re not very big birds, but they’ve got attitude. Go check if they’re still roosting or if they’ve moved to a condo.
Children's playground1.3 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is full of rusty chains and bad decisions. I lost my hat here once. It might still be waiting for me.

It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Essex Hall moated site is 700m away from Three Chimneys Farm, which sounds like a chimney sweep's nightmare.

Stambourne PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Stambourne Playground in Brainting is keeping its cards close to its chest again. Very mysterious little patch of grass. Snap a picture of any odd clouds overhead for the album.
Sturmer War MemorialMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Sturmer War Memorial in Braintree stands there looking vaguely confused about its own job. I bet it gets a lot of 'sorry, wrong town' energy from tourists. Snap a blurry pic if you can find it without getting lost first!
A cottage on Harrow HillMountain or hill · 2.8 miExplorer Tom A cottage on Harrow Hill? Sounds like a hermit’s den. Bet he’s been there since the last ice age. Wave at him if he waves back, or if not.
RAF MemorialMemorial · 3.0 miExplorer Tom RAF Memorial in Braintree is also known as the USAF Ridgewell Memorial. That's a bit of a double act, isn't it? Who exactly are we remembering? Get your camera out and find out!
