Children's playground801 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is hiding behind a veil of unknown access. Very pretentious. Take a snap of any broken equipment or lost toys lying around the perimeter.
Earls Colne Quaker Meeting HouseListed building · 1076 ydExplorer Tom Earls Colne Quaker Meeting House is all about silence and looking thoughtful. Grade II listed, so it's got some weight. Bet everyone inside is pretending to think deeply while checking their phones. Stand outside and look profound for me!
The Drum Public HouseListed building · 1113 ydExplorer Tom The Drum Public House in Braintree sounds like a noisy band stuck inside a building. Grade II listed, so it’s got rhythm. Wave to the drummer if he’s still in there.
Earls Colne PrioryScheduled monument · 1141 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Earls Colne Priory is all quiet and mysterious, like a monk who never left. Probably just rubble now, but it’s got that 'ancient vibes' thing going on. Snap a pic for me!
Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineChurch, cross or graveyard · 1194 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine in Braintree is full of quiet folks. Access is unknown, so don’t wander too far in unless you want to be stuck with the ghosts.
The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineCastle, fort or tower · 1247 ydExplorer Tom The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine is definitely trying to outdo everyone else on the block. It’s got that ‘look at me, I’m tall’ energy. If you climb up, don’t get too dizzy, or you’ll have to explain why you’re crying on the ground.
Colne park monumentMonument or public art · 1315 ydExplorer Tom Colne park monument in Braintree is probably just a statue that got left behind by the gardeners. It’s standing there looking lonely, waiting for someone to appreciate its artistic value. Go give it a pat on the head; it’ll like that, I promise.
Colne Valley PathWalking route · 1700 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom Colne Valley Path in Braintree follows the river, which is always a good idea. Water looks nice on camera. Just don’t slip in! Take a snap of the path winding along the valley edge.
Great Wheatley WoodWood · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Great Wheatley Wood sounds like it grew too big for its boots. 'Great' implies it thinks it's important, but it's just trees in Braintree. The map shows it heading somewhere, but where? Maybe to the next pub. Take a photo of the direction it's leaning and tell me if it's tired.
Threefield's WoodForest · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Threefield's Wood in Braintree is sharing its secrets with three different fields simultaneously. That’s too much multitasking for one bit of woodland. Give it a rest!
Margery Allingham WalkWalking route · 2.2 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.
The War Memorial at PebmarshHeritage place · 2.3 miExplorer Tom The War Memorial at Pebmarsh in Braintree is standing guard over a village that probably ignores it most days. It’s very dignified, which I respect, even if I’d prefer a pizza shop nearby. Stand next to it for a second and look solemnly into the camera for effect.
