Explorer Tom Water Tower is standing tall like it owns the place. It’s Grade II, so it’s got some history but maybe not enough to hold a conversation. Take a picture for the album.
Explorer Tom Trinity Methodist Church in Breckland is on Theatre Street, which is odd. I expect they still do a bit of dramatic reading during services to keep things interesting.
Explorer Tom Dereham: milestone is just another stone pretending to be important in a town that has better things to do. It might tell you how far away the pub is, which would be handy. Give it a wave and keep moving on!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom St Withburga's Well & St Nicholas Church, Dereham, Norfolk is a holy well next to a church, which means plenty of people have dipped their fingers in for luck. I’ll just stand here and pretend my headache is magically gone already.
Explorer Tom Mariners Plaice in Breckland is an amusement arcade with no real details, so I’m imagining it’s full of people trying to win a plush toy that looks suspiciously like a local farmer.
Explorer Tom Bishop Bonner's Cottage Museum smells like old candles and secrets. A bishop lived here? Or maybe just a very posh gardener who liked wearing robes. It’s all very mysterious, or at least it pretends to be on the map.
Explorer Tom The Wensum Way is back again! This one’s marked as a public footpath. So, you can walk it? Probably. Check the signs and enjoy the scenery while you're at it.
Explorer Tom Scarning Fen is a nature reserve that smells like wet socks and ancient secrets. I bet the fens remember everyone who’s ever complained about the mud. Step carefully, or it’ll swallow you!
Explorer Tom Hoe Common was born in an Inclosure Act of 1811. It used to be for the poor, gathering gorse for fuel. Now it’s rare acidic heathland. Respect its history and beauty!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom 392nd Bomb Group Memorial in Breckland marks the spot where those brave pilots dropped things from high up. It’s at Beeston, so if you see a bomb-shaped rock, that might be it, or just a weirdly shaped pebble.
