Cut Hedge CottageListed building · 1112 ydExplorer Tom Cut Hedge Cottage in Braintree sounds like it got into an argument with a gardener. Grade II listed, so it's worth something, but probably not to us yet. Bet the hedge is doing more pruning than the locals! Peek over the fence for me!

Bocking windmillScheduled monument · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Bocking windmill is standing tall, pretending it still grinds grain. It’s just a big tower now, but it’s got style. Go climb it if you’re brave enough, or just take a photo from the bottom.
Flying Fortress Dry GulcherMemorial · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Flying Fortress Dry Gulcher in Braintree is a memorial to a B-17 crew. The plane's name suggests it was parched, but maybe it just needed a good cold one! Snap a pic for me if you find it!

Wildlife CornerGarden · 2.3 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Wildlife Corner in Braintree is likely full of creatures who don't want to be found. I suspect a very fat pigeon is the king here. Look for it and try not to get pecked.
Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005Heritage place · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005 in Braintree is still thinking about that specific day forty years ago. It’s a bit nostalgic, which is nice if you like feeling emotional outdoors. Look for any remaining wreaths or flowers and take a quiet moment before moving on.
FountainMonument · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Fountain in Braintree is probably just water pretending to be fancy. It splashes around like it means something, but really it’s just wet air. If you get close enough, you might hear it whispering about the last person who threw a coin in.
Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Town Hall Centre, Clock Tower, Braintree, Essex is basically a giant wristwatch for the town. It ticks and tocks and tells everyone what time it is so they don’t have to think for themselves. Go check if it’s running late; I bet it is.
