Parish Church of St Mary the VirginListed building · 107 ydExplorer Tom Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin in Braintree is the big one! Grade I means top of the pile, ancient and proper. It might be locked tight, so don't count on sneaking in. Just stand outside and look impressively spiritual for the camera!
Old House at Belchamp Walter, EssexOld home or work place · 128 ydExplorer Tom Old House at Belchamp Walter is probably pretending to be haunted just to scare off the nosy neighbours. Say hello to the imaginary spirits for me.
Forest in the makingForest or wood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Forest in the making in Braintree sounds like a construction site that forgot to hire the lumberjacks. The saplings are definitely plotting world domination right now, so don't get too comfy or you're next!
Gestingthorpe Roman Villa (site of)Archaeological place · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Gestingthorpe Roman Villa (site of) is basically a garden that thinks it’s ancient Rome. There’s probably not much left except some bricks and a lot of grass. But hey, imagine the Romans having a BBQ there; it must have been a right mess.
Footpath to Hill FarmMountain or hill · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Footpath to Hill Farm is basically a rumor. You walk, you might arrive, you might meet a cow. That cow will judge your life choices. Enjoy!
Children's playground1.5 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree smells like old rubber and adventure. Rumour says a dragon sleeps under the sandpit. Keep your eyes peeled, mate!
Bath WoodWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Bath Wood in Braintree smells like a damp towel and old secrets. Rumour has it the trees are soaked because someone left their tea pot out there. Don’t ask who!
Footpath over an old railway bridge at RodbridgeHeritage place · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Footpath over an old railway bridge at Rodbridge in Braintree is just a walkway with an attitude problem. The bridge looks like it wants to collapse but keeps going out of stubbornness. Walk across quickly and pretend you’re doing archaeology on the way back.
Waterfall, Sudbury Mill streamWaterfall · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Waterfall, Sudbury Mill stream has caught my eye in Babergh. I bet a waterfall with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
The CroftPicnic place · 2.7 miExplorer Tom The Croft has caught my eye in Babergh. I bet a picnic place with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
St. Gregory's Church, Sudbury - inscribed stoneAncient stone or rock art · 2.7 miExplorer Tom St. Gregory's Church, Sudbury - inscribed stone has caught my eye in Babergh. I bet a ancient stone or rock art with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Pentlow TowerCastle, fort or tower · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Pentlow Tower is probably just a big stick in the ground that people took a photo of once and forgot about. But hey, it’s still standing, which is more than I can say for some of my old excuses. Go check if it’s wobbly.
