Explorer Tom Weald Park in Brentwood is probably full of nice views and expensive-looking grass. I bet the locals complain about the parking situation. Find a good spot to sit and pretend you own the whole place!
Explorer Tom Lodge Field feels like it’s guarding something important, maybe a very sleepy dog or a lost postman. The lodge isn’t there, but the attitude remains. Be polite if you hear barking.
Explorer Tom Belvedere Field sounds like it’s watching you from above, judging your walking pace. It’s near South Weald, so maybe there’s a view of something impressive. Or just more trees. Take a picture for me!
Explorer Tom Hou Hatch has an entrance that looks like it’s inviting you in. Be careful, it might just be a trap for tourists.
Explorer Tom Old MacDonald's Farm Park in Brentwood promises cows and pigs everywhere. I haven't seen a single one yet, but if you hear an 'oh my' coming from behind a fence, don't be too surprised by that noise.
Explorer Tom River Road Play Space sounds like a place where toddlers go to drown their sorrows in imaginary rivers. It’s definitely not for grown-ups unless they enjoy getting splashed by very angry two-year-olds.
Explorer Tom London Road Cemetery in Brentwood is where all the commuters eventually end up, and honestly, that's a relief. The account says nothing, so expect headstones with no names or names too long to read. Take a photo of any 'London' signs; if you see one, tell me it's a wrong turn.
Explorer Tom The Chapel of St Thomas a Becket in Brentwood is keeping its secrets tight. I bet the masons were showing off back then, but now it's just bricks and mystery. Take a peek if you dare!
Explorer Tom Lorne Road Cemetery in Brentwood is named after Lorne, who probably lost his way and ended up buried there. The account says nothing, so assume the trees are taller than the headstones. Take a photo of any 'Lorne' markers; if you can't find them, blame the fog for hiding the truth.
Explorer Tom Monument on Shenfield Common in Brentwood is standing alone out in the open air. It looks lonely, like a dog waiting for its owner. Take a picture of it looking dignified while the wind messes up your hair.
Explorer Tom Remains of the Filmy Fern Cave is hiding its ferns from the prying sun. It's just a rocky nook pretending to be something much bigger and mysterious.
