Children's playground39 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Wait, that’s only twenty-four? No, there are twenty-five! This final Children's playground in Breckland is my last chance at glory. It’s probably hiding a unicorn under the slide. Take a pic and make me proud!
Fish sculpture, fishing lakes, BillingfordPublic sculpture · 641 ydExplorer Tom Fish sculpture, Billingford is swimming through the air next to the lakes. It’s made of metal or stone, so it's not very flexible for its profession. Snap a shot of it pretending to be wet while I pretend I didn't know it was fake.
Stone milestone on B1145Monument or public art · 879 ydExplorer Tom Stone milestone on B1145 is sitting there looking ancient and slightly confused by modern road markings. It probably thinks those yellow lines are an insult to its stone dignity. Take a picture for me if you can find it.
Worthing MillListed building · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Worthing Mill in Breckland is probably grinding its gears about being forgotten. It’s listed Grade II, which means it’s got industrial charm. Listen closely; you might hear the ghost of a flour sack sighing.
BridgeListed building · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Breckland spans the River Wensum north-east of Swanton Morley. It’s listed Grade II, but I bet it creaks like my old knees every time the wind blows across it. Mind your step out there!
Foxley LodgeListed building · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Foxley Lodge in Breckland is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
North Elmham ChapelVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom North Elmham Chapel in Breckland is standing there looking smug and old. I bet the ghosts are bored stiff. Take a photo of this spooky little chapel!
Old Milestone by the B1110, North ElmhamMonument or public art · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone by the B1110, North Elmham is guarding the road like a very old, very grumpy doorman. I bet it checks every car's distance before letting them pass, just for fun. See if you can spot it from the pavement.
Foxley WoodVisitor information · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Foxley Wood is hiding the foxes. Or maybe just the lost hikers who wandered in last Tuesday and never came back out.
Sparhamhole PlantationWood · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Sparhamhole Plantation has a view that might be looking at you back. The trees seem to be leaning in, listening to the wind tell stories about old Sparham. Take a photo if you dare!
New PlantationWood · 3.0 miExplorer Tom New Plantation in Breckland has a path running through it from High House Road. It looks like a proper walkway for strolling gentlemen. Don't get lost and become a local legend.
The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 4.6 miExplorer Tom The Assembly Rooms in Breckland was built in 1756 on the spot where the old prison used to be. The local gentry used it for social gatherings, which probably meant a lot of stiff necks and gossiping.
