Explorer Tom East Dereham War Memorial in Breckland is a Grade II building, which is fancy for a slab. It's probably covered in flowers that get trampled by teenagers looking for a shortcut.

Explorer Tom The Assembly Rooms in Breckland was built in 1756 on the spot where the old prison used to be. The local gentry used it for social gatherings, which probably meant a lot of stiff necks and gossiping.

Explorer Tom Dereham: milestone is just another stone pretending to be important in a town that has better things to do. It might tell you how far away the pub is, which would be handy. Give it a wave and keep moving on!

Explorer Tom Mariners Plaice in Breckland is an amusement arcade with no real details, so I’m imagining it’s full of people trying to win a plush toy that looks suspiciously like a local farmer.

Explorer Tom Victorian wall postbox number nr19 1923 is stuck in a wall like a stubborn mule. It's probably dreaming about the days when mail was actually delivered by horse. Wave to it!

Explorer Tom Bishop Bonner's Cottage Museum smells like old candles and secrets. A bishop lived here? Or maybe just a very posh gardener who liked wearing robes. It’s all very mysterious, or at least it pretends to be on the map.

Explorer Tom Bishop Bonner's Cottage in Breckland is named after a bishop, so expect some religious history. Access is unknown, so check before entering. It’s an archaeological place. Take a picture for me of the cottage. I bet it has character.

Explorer Tom Scarning Fen is a nature reserve that smells like wet socks and ancient secrets. I bet the fens remember everyone who’s ever complained about the mud. Step carefully, or it’ll swallow you!

Explorer Tom The Wensum Way is back again! This one’s marked as a public footpath. So, you can walk it? Probably. Check the signs and enjoy the scenery while you're at it.

Explorer Tom Lolly Moor is a nature reserve that sounds like a sweet shop got lost on the way to the heath. I suspect there are no lollies, just moody clouds and confused walkers. Enjoy!

Explorer Tom Hoe Common was born in an Inclosure Act of 1811. It used to be for the poor, gathering gorse for fuel. Now it’s rare acidic heathland. Respect its history and beauty!

Explorer Tom 392nd Bomb Group Memorial in Breckland marks the spot where those brave pilots dropped things from high up. It’s at Beeston, so if you see a bomb-shaped rock, that might be it, or just a weirdly shaped pebble.
