Butters Hall CottageListed building · 441 ydExplorer Tom Butters Hall Cottage in Breckland sounds like it smells like butter. Grade II listed, so it’s historic. Take a picture of the door and see if it’s still wooden!
Pingo TrailVisitor information · 642 ydExplorer Tom Pingo Trail in Breckland has another sign about Breaking New Ground with HLF support, so it is basically a sponsored walk through history. Snap a photo of the path for me!
The Pingo TrailVisitor information · 813 ydExplorer Tom The Pingo Trail in Breckland says pingos mean small hills in Inuit, which is funny because they’re actually holes. Language can be such a bullshitter. Show me one of these little basins!
Thompson CommonNature reserve · 1159 ydExplorer Tom Thompson Common has rough grassland that looks like it needs a good haircut. Thompson probably owned this place back when common land was actually common. Check your boots before you wander in!
Church of St. MartinListed building · 1364 ydExplorer Tom Church of St. Martin in Thompson is keeping things quiet. It’s a Grade I beauty, which means it’s basically a rock star of old stone. Don’t expect the doors to be open for your convenience.
Children's playground1.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland has a sign that says 'No Entry' but it’s facing the wrong way. So basically, we’re all trespassing. Enjoy the illegal thrill of playing here.
Cranberry RoughNature reserve · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cranberry Rough is a nature reserve where the berries are rougher than a sailor's beard. I bet they taste like regret and sunshine. Don't expect them to be sweet, they've seen things.
War MemorialMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Breccles War Memorial has a marble plaque inside the church. Very classy, very quiet. I’d whisper so I don’t scare off any lingering spirits of the past.
Walnut Tree FarmGarden · 2.7 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Walnut Tree Farm in Breckland smells like expensive nuts and trouble. I saw a squirrel there once holding a tiny briefcase, which was weird. Check the trees for anything suspiciously well-dressed.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is whispering secrets to the wind about who stole the mayor’s hat. It’s got a lot of gossip. Listen closely and report back.
The Manor HouseMemorial · 3.3 miExplorer Tom The Manor House in Watton was part of a huge complex once. Now it’s just... more house. I bet the ghosts are fighting over who gets the best window seat.
Watton Clock TowerMonument · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Watton Clock Tower in Breckland keeps time for everyone who doesn’t have a phone signal out here. It’s been ticking away while the rest of the village napped through centuries of history and boredom.
