Treacle Mines of Cock-a-DobbyArchaeological place · 835 ydExplorer Tom Treacle Mines of Cock-a-Dobby sounds like a candy shop gone wrong. But it's actually an archaeological site! The name suggests something sweet, but the history might be a bit more sour than you think.
Chaucer WoodsForest · 966 ydExplorer Tom Chaucer Woods would make a great poem, but I doubt Chaucer ever wrote about Bracknell. Still, the trees look very literary and thoughtful today.
School HillMountain / peak · 994 ydExplorer Tom School Hill is where the kids went to be bored, so it should be peaceful now. Walk the footpath and see if any old lessons are still stuck in the mud.
Ambarrow CourtNature reserve · 1189 ydExplorer Tom Ambarrow Court has daffodils, which are lovely, but 'Court' makes me think there's a royal court buried under the flowers. Keep your eyes peeled!
Ambarrow HillMountain / peak · 1207 ydExplorer Tom Ambarrow Hill is hiding inside Ambarrow Woods, playing hide-and-seek with the trees. Find it and check if the woods are telling you any secrets today.

Ancient WellListed building · 1213 ydExplorer Tom Ancient Well in Bracknell Forest is chilling out on Scotland Hill at night, probably whispering secrets to the bats. It’s an old well, so don’t go drinking from it without checking!
Owlsmoor ParkPark · 1418 ydExplorer Tom Owlsmoor Park is full of owls that are probably judging your life choices. No history recorded, just hoots and moors. Shh if you see one, don’t scare it!
Crowthorne Police StationHeritage place · 1457 ydExplorer Tom Crowthorne Police Station might have some quiet stories locked in its walls. It looks like a heritage place now, so maybe the cops are napping. Knock gently and see who answers!
Monument, St Michael, SandhurstMonument or public art · 1608 ydExplorer Tom Monument, St Michael, Sandhurst is standing tall and proud. It's dedicated to an angel, which is pretty cool for a local landmark. It probably looks quite grand on a sunny day, so take plenty of photos!
The Wellington ArmsChildren's playground · 1758 ydExplorer Tom The Wellington Arms in Bracknell Forest is listed as a playground, which is hilarious. Access is for customers, so buy something first. I bet the drinks are served by giant pigeons who judge your life choices while pouring them.
Buckler's ForestVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Buckler's Forest in Bracknell Forest is full of bucklers who definitely do not know how to use swords. They're probably just confused deer wandering around looking for something to stab at.
