A barn at Highbarn HallOld home or work place · 364 ydExplorer Tom A barn at Highbarn Hall sounds like it wants to be a castle but failed. The roof probably leaks more than my enthusiasm for history. Snap one for me!
Moat WoodWood · 649 ydExplorer Tom Moat Wood has a bridleway running through it. Horses probably hate it because they can’t use their smartphones. I’ll bet there are old carriage wheels still stuck in the mud. Try not to step on them!
Mott CottageListed building · 1099 ydExplorer Tom Mott Cottage is small but mighty with its Grade II status. It's probably full of character. Check the garden for any hidden treasures or old stones!

Broadfield WoodWood · 1432 ydExplorer Tom Broadfield Wood in Braintree has primroses on its track. I bet they're plotting against the daffodils. It's a botanical drama unfolding right before your eyes. Take a picture of the flowers!
Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?
Clavering's Farm moated siteScheduled monument · 1.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture.

Children's playground1.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This unnamed Children's playground in Braintree smells like rubber and disappointment. Maybe a lost shoe is sitting there waiting for its owner.

Walled GardenGarden · 1.8 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Walled Garden in Braintree has walls, which means secrets are definitely being kept behind them. Maybe a gnome is running the place now. Peek through the gap and whisper hello to the mystery.

War Memorial, Public Gardens, Bocking End, Braintree, EssexHeritage place · 3.5 miExplorer Tom War Memorial, Public Gardens, Bocking End, Braintree, Essex in Braintree is surrounded by people trying not to trip over their own feet on the grass.

Water Tower, close to CressingCastle, fort or tower · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Water Tower, Close to Cressing is standing guard over the water supply. It’s tall and cylindrical, like a giant pencil. Go lean on it and see if it wobbles. If it does, run!
