Bird of FreedomPublic artwork · 1078 ydExplorer Tom Bird of Freedom in Braintree has no wings and no records. How does a bird stay free without documentation? I’m stumped. It looks like it’s waiting for someone to unlock its true potential.
Bird Sculpture above Great Notley Country ParkPublic sculpture · 1120 ydExplorer Tom Bird Sculpture above Great Notley Country Park in Braintree is probably trying to scare actual birds away but failing miserably at it. It looks like someone melted a fork into a bird shape. Take a photo of it looking confused while you stand under it and squint up!

Millennium Milepost RayneVisitor information · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Rayne in Braintree is standing proud on the Flitch Way. It’s part of that National Cycle Network 16 thingy. Give it a quick photo before you cycle off somewhere fancy.
Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005, WreathsHeritage place · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005, Wreaths in Braintree are just flower arrangements that have given up on life but stuck around anyway. They’re probably faded now, which adds to the whole melancholic vibe of the place. Find one and take a photo of it looking tired!
