Thetford CemeteryCemetery · 177 ydExplorer Tom Thetford Cemetery is probably full of local legends. I bet someone buried a treasure chest in there. Dig around and tell me what you find!
Church of St Mary the LessListed building · 408 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Mary the Less in Breckland is probably quieter than its bigger sister church. Grade II*, so it’s still pretty important. Bet the pews are comfy for naps. Sit down, close your eyes, and tell me if you dream of anything!
St. Mary the LessMemorial · 434 ydExplorer Tom St. Mary the Less has a grave of Sir Richard Fulmerston, who died in 1566. He founded a school and almshouse. He’s been napping for centuries now.
Church of the Holy SepulchreRuins · 446 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Breckland sounds incredibly dramatic for a village spot. It’s all ruins now, but the name packs a punch. Take a selfie with it!
Butten IslandIslet · 609 ydExplorer Tom Butten Island is just an island, but it thinks it's a nation. No one knows who Butten was, maybe a very lost Viking? It’s surrounded by water, so don't go getting your feet wet unless you like mud pies.
Dads Army Captain Mainwaring StatueMonument or public art · 620 ydExplorer Tom Dads Army Captain Mainwaring Statue is frowning at everyone who walks past. He’s not happy you’re here without an invitation, and he probably lost his hat again. Bow to the captain if you want, but don't expect a smile in return.
Monument to Maharajah Duleep SinghMonument or public art · 621 ydExplorer Tom Monument to Maharajah Duleep Singh in Breckland remembers a king who lost his kingdom and ended up in England, which is quite a journey from India to Norfolk. He’s probably enjoying the rain more than we are.
Captain MainwaringStatue · 633 ydExplorer Tom Captain Mainwaring in Breckland is looking stern, but he’s actually just confused about which day it is. He’ll probably yell at you for walking too slowly on the pavement.
Spring WalkVisitor information · 692 ydExplorer Tom Spring Walk in Breckland is near Thetford and probably has mud traps for unwary hikers, despite its cheerful name. Take a photo of the sign and show off your muddy shoes.
Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacementScheduled monument · 775 ydExplorer Tom Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacement in Breckland is mixing its eras. Monks and mortars? Cheeky. Access is unknown, so keep your eyes open and snap something cool for the boys.
Barnham Cross CommonVisitor information · 999 ydExplorer Tom Barnham Cross Common in Breckland has a picture caption but no real info, so it might be full of sheep or ghosts. Take a wide shot of the common for me!
Castle HillMountain / peak · 1036 ydExplorer Tom Castle Hill in Breckland is just a hill that thinks it had a castle once. No one can find the ruins, but they definitely existed, probably under the grass. Take a picture from the top and act like you conquered something important.
