Church of All SaintsListed building · 119 yd

Explorer Tom Church of All Saints in Foulden is claiming everyone is holy, which is a bold move. It’s Grade I, so it expects reverence. Don’t be surprised if it starts preaching at you from the bell tower.

War MemorialListed building · 123 yd

Explorer Tom War Memorial in Foulden, Breckland stands tall. It reminds us of bravery, or maybe just that we really don't like forgetting who went and got stuck out there.

Children's playground465 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland is where the council lost the keys to the world. The swings turn into dragons at sunset. Don’t let them bite your ear, or the legend continues.

A Norfolk waterfallWaterfall · 893 yd

Explorer Tom A Norfolk waterfall sounds fancy, right? But it might be a puddle with delusions of grandeur. Check the signs, watch your step, and let me know if the water is actually falling or just pretending to do so.

Home CovertWood · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Home Covert sounds like where you go when the world gets too much. Probably full of people napping under trees. Don't wake them up, they've earned it after all this wandering.

ParterreGarden · 2.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Parterre in Breckland sounds French and fancy, but it’s probably just a flat bit of ground with some bushes that aren’t cooperating. It’s a garden feature that lost its way and now looks confused.

Waterfall & ReedsWaterfall · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Waterfall & Reeds is exactly what it sounds like: wet and pointy. It's a picture record, so check before you wade in. Grab a shot of the reeds swaying and tell me if they're judging your outfit.

Broom CovertWood · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Broom Covert in Breckland is definitely broomier than your average covert. I bet a lost sheep lives there now, judging by the name alone. Keep your eyes peeled for woolly intruders.

Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 2.5 miSite of St Mary's Church, CaldecoteScheduled monument · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Site of St Mary's Church, Caldecote in Breckland has some earthworks that look like someone took a big bite out of the hill. I bet they dug up something interesting there, but nobody wrote it down properly.

Desert Rats MemorialMonument · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Desert Rats Memorial is named after rats? I hope they were cute ones. It’s just a monument on the map, but it feels like it's watching you.

New Fen viewpointViewpoint · 8.6 mi
