Children's playground136 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is full of little red dots on the path. They’re not berries. Probably paint. But they look like tiny targets. Aim for them!
Card'sListed building · 642 ydExplorer Tom Card's in Braintree sounds like a place where someone lost a high-stakes game. It’s a Grade II* farmhouse, so the cards might still be on the table. Check if there are any hidden rooms!

Bird Sculpture above Great Notley Country ParkPublic sculpture · 1426 ydExplorer Tom Bird Sculpture above Great Notley Country Park in Braintree is probably trying to scare actual birds away but failing miserably at it.

Spooky combo for a Tuesday afternoon walk.
Millennium milepost, National Cycle Route 16Monument or public art · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Millennium milepost on the Cycle Route is feeling very modern and hip. It’s probably thinking about carbon footprints while you’re there. Tell it I said ride safe, you cyclist!

Hazelton WoodWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Hazelton Wood looks like it wants to be left alone, honestly. I'd say check the paths, but who trusts a path in Braintree? It might just vanish into thin air. Keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious.

Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, Essex is basically a giant wristwatch for the town. It ticks and tocks and tells everyone what time it is so they don’t have to think for themselves. Go check if it’s running late; I bet it is.
