George HotelListed building · 165 ydExplorer Tom The George Hotel in Breckland looks like it’s judging your outfit. Grade II listed, which means it’s got some serious history to brag about. Did the landlord serve you a proper pint? Tell me!
Town PoundListed building · 184 ydExplorer Tom Town Pound in Breckland was where they kept naughty animals, or so the story goes. Grade II, very official! Imagine a donkey judging your life choices from behind the bars. Snap it if you see one!
Swaffham Community GardenGarden · 313 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Swaffham Community Garden in Breckland is growing wild and weird. I bet there’s a giant pumpkin hiding behind the shed, waiting to scare the locals. Snap a pic if you see anything oversized or odd-looking.
Swaffham Town SignPublic artwork · 335 ydExplorer Tom Swaffham Town Sign in Breckham talks about a tinker finding treasure in a dream. Classic fairy tale stuff. I bet he found exactly what he needed and nothing more. It’s poetic, actually. Very cheeky of them to include that. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Settlement StoneMonument · 366 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement Stone in Breckland is a monument with no explanation, which is perfect for us. Access is unknown, so don’t lean on it. It’s just there. Take a picture for me of this mysterious rock. I want to see what it looks like!
Butter CrossMonument · 367 ydExplorer Tom Butter Cross in Breckland was for selling butter, which makes me thirsty for some strong tea. It’s a nice spot to imagine knights trading dairy products while looking very serious and important about it all.
London to Walsingham - stage 08Walking route · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom London to Walsingham - stage 08 continues the march towards the holy shrine. It's all very spiritual, but mostly it's just legs and blisters. Try not to whine about the distance, will you?
Dalton's PlantationWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Dalton's Plantation in Breckland is basically a forest with an attitude, hiding near Swaffham on the Peddars Way. Who knows what Dalton planted back then? Probably just a lot of trees and secrets.
Round CovertWood · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Round Covert in Breckland is circular, which means there’s no clear way out. You’re going to walk in circles and wonder if time exists here, just me and the trees.
Peddars WayWalking route · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Peddars Way near Thompson is an ancient route that predates your great-grandmother's confusion. It’s a long walk, so make sure your legs are ready for miles of Norfolk sky. Take a photo of the horizon and tell me if you can see any clouds or just flat fields.
Castle Acre PrioryScheduled monument · 3.5 mi
Sporle MemorialMemorial · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Sporle Memorial in Breckland has a brick and flint base with an inscribed slate top. It commemorates the RFC Landing Ground, which is basically where planes used to crash into the dirt without any fancy runways.
