Threefield's WoodForest · 451 ydExplorer 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!
The GroveListed building · 507 ydExplorer Tom The Grove in Colne Endgaine is hiding in plain sight. Grade II listed, which means it’s got some roots. I bet there are ghosts having parties in the trees.
Farmhouse at Abbott's farmOld home or work place · 936 ydExplorer Tom Farmhouse at Abbott's farm is probably hiding a very grumpy cat behind that fence. I bet he owns the whole village. Take a picture for me if you pass!
The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineCastle, fort or tower · 1068 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.
Children's playground1103 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in Brainting is open but pretending to be lost. Cheeky bugger. Take a photo of the ground where kids used to stand, I bet it remembers.
Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineChurch, cross or graveyard · 1122 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.
Oxley WoodWood · 1517 ydExplorer Tom Oxley Wood in Braintree is looking along the field margin, judging your walking pace. It's near Halstead, which means it's probably pretentious about its location. Check the access, but don't expect a welcome mat. Snap the field edge for me and see what's hiding there.
The War Memorial at PebmarshHeritage place · 1.8 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.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 1.8 miExplorer Tom This Old Milestone is playing hard to get again. It’s been sitting there since the last century judging everyone. Take a pic before it changes its mind about being cool.
Colne park monumentMonument or public art · 1.8 miExplorer 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.
Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?
Waterfall on Robins BrookWaterfall · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Waterfall on Robins Brook in Braintree is actually a real waterfall, which is cool for Essex. It’s not huge, but it’s there. Go find it and take a picture of the water rushing over the rocks!
