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 This path goes from Hickford Hill to Clare, which sounds like a fancy girl. I bet the hill is jealous. Send me a postcard if you meet her.

Explorer Tom Footpath over an old railway bridge at Rodbridge in Braintree is just a walkway with an attitude problem. The bridge looks like it wants to collapse but keeps going out of stubbornness. Walk across quickly and pretend you’re doing archaeology on the way back.
