Explorer 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!
Explorer 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!
Explorer 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!
Explorer 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!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Stow Bedon Village Sign in Breckland is keeping its secrets close to the chest. No account means I’m free to imagine it’s guarding a dragon. Probably not, but it looks dignified enough. Don’t let it intimidate you. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Caston Village Sign in Breckland has no details at all. I bet it’s a disguise for a very confused camel that wandered off from the circus and got lost.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
