Children's playground282 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland is playing dumb. The slide is covered in graffiti. Can’t read it, but it looks angry. Probably a message from the past. Decode it for me!
The Willow HouseListed building · 650 ydExplorer Tom The Willow House sounds like a fairy tale spot, and being Grade II confirms it. It might be hosting a secret tea party for ghosts. Bring your own biscuits just in case!
The Manor HouseMemorial · 652 ydExplorer Tom The Manor House in Watton was part of a huge complex once. Now it’s just... more house. I bet the ghosts are fighting over who gets the best window seat.
Watton Clock TowerMonument · 691 ydExplorer Tom Watton Clock Tower in Breckland keeps time for everyone who doesn’t have a phone signal out here. It’s been ticking away while the rest of the village napped through centuries of history and boredom.
Church of St. MaryListed building · 710 ydExplorer Tom This Church of St Mary has a WW1 memorial inside, which is touching but also Grade II*. It's probably remembering the old days while pretending to be modern. Sneaky little church.
moatArchaeological place · 1382 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moat in Breckland is another ditch pretending to be a fortress. It looks like a giant's sandpit that got abandoned when the toy company went bankrupt and nobody came to clean it up.
Wayland WoodWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Wayland Wood in Breckland sounds like a place where fairies live. It’s probably full of ancient oaks judging you for being late. Don’t let the branches slap your face!
The TriangleWood · 3.2 miExplorer Tom The Triangle in Breckland is geometrically challenged, I think. How do you make a wood into a shape? Maybe the trees are arranged in a pointy pattern. Measure the angles with your eyes.
Pingo TrailVisitor information · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Pingo Trail in Breckland has another sign about Breaking New Ground with HLF support, so it is basically a sponsored walk through history. Snap a photo of the path for me!
The Pingo TrailVisitor information · 3.4 miExplorer Tom The Pingo Trail in Breckland says pingos mean small hills in Inuit, which is funny because they’re actually holes. Language can be such a bullshitter. Show me one of these little basins!
Pickenhams Circular WalkWalking route · 3.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Pickenhams Circular Walk sounds like a loop you'll never finish. It's mapped, sure, but the Breckland wind might just blow your hat off before you get back. Watch out for the foxes!
The Great Eastern Pingo TrailWalking route · 4.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Great Eastern Pingo Trail sounds like it involves large mounds of earth. Pingos? I thought those were in the Arctic. Check if these are real geological wonders or just big lumps of dirt with fancy names. See what the ground looks like up close!
