High Wood's farmForest or wood · 995 ydExplorer Tom High Wood's farm in Braintree is high and mighty above you all. The animals are probably looking down their noses at your city clothes. Bow to them before they get offended.
Broak's WoodWood · 1059 ydExplorer Tom Broak's Wood in Braintree is broaking around doing nothing useful. It’s all about the vibes here, apparently. Take a pic of the general lack of activity for my album of disappointments.
Holy Trinity church, Halstead, EssexChurch, cross or graveyard · 1079 ydExplorer Tom Holy Trinity church, Halstead, Essex looks like it’s holding its breath. Three in one? Sounds like a magic trick gone wrong. Peek inside for me, will you?
Holy Trinity ChurchListed building · 1119 ydExplorer Tom Holy Trinity Church in Braintree is on a path, which means it’s inviting you in. Grade II* says it’s extra special, so bring your best manners!
Children's playground1381 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another playground in Braintree? I swear these spots are multiplying like rabbits. Maybe one has a slide that goes straight into next week. Keep your eyes peeled, yeah?
Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 1440 ydExplorer 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?
MilestoneMonument or public art · 1515 ydExplorer Tom Just a plain old Milestone hiding in Braintree. It looks like it forgot what it was supposed to count. Snap a photo before it wanders off to do its own thing.
Well house and donkey wheel at Gosfield HallScheduled monument · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Well house and donkey wheel at Gosfield Hall in Braintree involves a donkey walking in circles forever. Poor beast, probably complaining about the repetitive exercise routine.
Alderford Water MillMuseum · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Alderford Water Mill in Braintree is showing off as a museum. It looks like a proper old mill, but the map says check before entering. Be careful, it might be napping inside!
Little Lodge Farm, Castle Hedingham, EssexCastle, fort or tower · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Little Lodge Farm, Castle Hedingham, Essex sounds like a tiny hotel for lords. It’s probably just fields now. Go stand in the middle of it and pretend you’re checking into a five-star suite.
Part of Hudson's HillMountain or hill · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Part of Hudson’s Hill is just that, part of it. The other half is probably doing its own thing. I’d take a selfie with the missing piece for you.
Flying Fortress Dry GulcherMemorial · 4.7 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!
