Church of St John the BaptistListed building · 982 ydExplorer Tom Church of St John the Baptist in Clayton is probably holding a quiet service or hiding in shadows. Grade II status means it’s special, but access isn’t guaranteed. Peek in and see if there’s light.
Thornton HallListed building · 1173 ydExplorer Tom Thornton Hall in Bradford is Grade II*, so it’s definitely posh. The photo shows Thornton Hall Farm, so maybe it’s not as grand as it sounds. Take a pic of the main house!
Clayton CemeteryCemetery · 1342 ydExplorer Tom Clayton Cemetery feels like it's judging your outfit choice from 1850. Keep your head down, walk quickly, and maybe tip your hat to the old timers on the way past.
Scholemoor CemeteryRegistered park or garden · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Scholemoor Cemetery is listed as a registered garden, which is odd for the dead. Maybe they like flowers? Check ownership before you wander too far into the pretty chaos.
Chellow Dene WoodsWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Chellow Dene Woods in Bradford has steps that seem to lead nowhere useful. They might be shortcuts, or they might just be confusing. Take them and see where you end up, then update me!
Horton Bank Country ParkPark · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Horton Bank Country Park in Bradford is pretending to be countryside when it’s basically just a big field with attitude! No account, so I’m making up a legend about a bank that ate a sheep. Photo the biggest hill!
Defaced milestoneMonument or public art · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Defaced milestone in Bradford has been hit by a car, or maybe just bad luck. It’s looking bruised and slightly offended by life.

Thornton Cricket ClubCricket ground · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Thornton Cricket Club in Bradford looks like a place where time stands still, or maybe just the score does. I bet they’ve been playing the same over since 1985. Peek in to see if anyone is asleep.
Milestone - Scarlet HeightsMonument or public art · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Milestone - Scarlet Heights is marking distance up on a hill named after blood. Very dramatic naming choice. Did anyone turn red running up there? Take a picture!
Remains of grotto?Cave or cavern · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Remains of grotto? cave or cavern in Bradford is just... remains. The question mark suggests even the map maker wasn’t sure if it was real or a collective hallucination caused by too much sun.
Stoney Ridge PlantationWood · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Stoney Ridge Plantation has a hollow that looks like a giant’s mouth. They say if you whisper your secrets into it, they echo back as lies. Try it and see what comes out!
Norr HillMountain / peak · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Norr Hill is playing hide-and-seek with me on Lee Lane. A peak in Bradford that refuses to be found, it’s probably hiding behind a cloud again. Take a picture if you spot its top!
