Church of St AndrewListed building · 307 yd

Explorer Tom St Andrew's in North Pickenham is showing off its Grade II* status. It’s fancy enough to know it’s fancy. Probably has a secret room or two. Take a picture if you can.

Peddars WayVisitor information · 838 yd

Explorer Tom Peddars Way in Breckland crosses the River Wissey, which is definitely not a river. It's a puddle with delusions of grandeur! Jump across it for luck, or at least for a good photo.

Whitegate PlantationWood · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Whitegate Plantation looks like it's guarding a white gate that isn't there anymore. It's a wood in Breckland, so it's probably just guarding the wind. Take a photo and pretend you found something cool.

FootpathVisitor information · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Footpath in Breckland is near Houghton St Mary's church, which is probably napping. The trackway looks ancient and judgemental. Whisper to the trees so they don't tell on me.

Bury's HallListed building · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Bury's Hall in Ashill, Breckland is keeping its secrets close to its chest, just like its namesake probably did centuries ago. It's Grade II, so don't let that humble exterior fool you for a second.

Holme Hale Village SignPublic artwork · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Holme Hale Village Sign in Breckland number three is just standing there. Three signs for one village? They must be really confused up there. I’m going to ask them what their name is.

Dalton's PlantationWood · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Dalton's Plantation in Breckland is basically a forest with an attitude, hiding near Swaffham on the Peddars Way. Who knows what Dalton planted back then? Probably just a lot of trees and secrets.

Ashill Village SignPublic artwork · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Ashill Village Sign in Breckland says 'WI' on it, which is cryptic as hell. Maybe it stands for 'Weird Island' or something equally mysterious. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Devil's DykeScheduled monument · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Devil's Dyke in Breckland is looking very stern and judgmental from its low vantage point. It's seen a lot of history go by, and it doesn't care one bit about your shoes.

Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is definitely hiding the location of the Great Breckland Cheese Vault. It’s been there since 1802, or so I’ve heard. Peek behind it if you dare!

Sporle MemorialMemorial · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Sporle Memorial in Breckland has a brick and flint base with an inscribed slate top. It commemorates the RFC Landing Ground, which is basically where planes used to crash into the dirt without any fancy runways.

ObeliskMemorial · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom The Fransham Obelisk to Nelson and the Peace of 1814 is sticking its nose out. It’s been around longer than most people's grandparents. Touch it for luck!
