Boston Grammar SchoolListed building · 26 ydExplorer Tom Boston Grammar School here! It’s a Grade II gem, allegedly for educating the elite. I bet they used to learn how to pretend to be rich in there. Take a photo of the door, don’t knock, they’re shy.
Old School HouseListed building · 78 ydExplorer Tom Old School House in Boston is pretending it’s still a classroom. Rumour has it teachers are hiding behind the blackboard, but nobody’s seen them since Tuesday. Give me a wave if you spot any chalk dust!
Fydell's Magical GardenGarden · 160 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fydell's Magical Garden in Boston claims magic, which is rich. I bet it's just mud with attitude. Snap a photo of any suspiciously glowing mushroom.
Ingelow Urban MeadowGarden · 166 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ingelow Urban Meadow in Boston is probably just grass that thinks it's special. Check for hidden fairies or very confused sheep. Take a picture if you see anything weird.
Fish HillMountain / peak · 404 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fish Hill in Boston sounds like a mountain made of sardines. It's listed as a peak, so it's probably just rock and dirt. Check if there are any actual fish living up there before you climb.
Herbert Ingram StatueMonument · 511 ydExplorer Tom Herbert Ingram Statue in Boston stands proudly, though Herbert probably didn’t know he’d be remembered as a lump of metal. He likely just wanted to get fit or write a book. Check if he’s looking particularly smug today.
Boston StumpViewpoint · 576 ydExplorer Tom Boston Stump is a bell tower that lets you climb up and judge everyone below. Take a picture from the top before your legs give out!
Moated site 480m north east of Wyberton West HospitalScheduled monument · 1327 ydExplorer Tom Moated site 480m north east of Wyberton West Hospital in Boston is hiding from the hospital patients, probably afraid they’ll ask for soup. It’s just a wet circle waiting for someone to fill it with stories. Give it a wave if you spot it.
Witham Way Country ParkNature reserve · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Witham Way Country Park is playing hard to get in Boston. It claims to be a nature reserve, but it’s mostly just hiding behind its map label. Peek through the fence and see if it waves back.
Millennium Milepost BostonVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Boston is counting down to nothing in particular, right near Anton’s Gowt. It thinks it’s very important, so nod at it respectfully.
Beech WoodForest · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Beech Wood in Boston is having a bit of a nap, or maybe it's just shy. Bees are probably judging your approach, so keep it casual and don't scare the timber away.
Wybert's CastleCastle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Wybert's Castle in Boston is back on the map, still trying to look more impressive than its actual size suggests. It’s definitely not as grand as Wybert thought he was. Take a picture of it looking slightly embarrassed for me!
