Oakleigh HouseListed building · 33 yd

Explorer Tom Oakleigh House in Breckland is throwing a bit of a tantrum with its Grade II* status. It’s fancy! Like wearing a tuxedo to a barbecue. Bet it’s got a secret cellar. Check under the stairs if you’re brave enough!

20 Market PlaceListed building · 46 yd

Explorer Tom 20 Market Place in Breckland is just another number pretending to be special. Grade II, sure, but does anyone actually live there or is it just for show? Take a photo if you spot a cat!

Settlement StoneMonument · 52 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer 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 · 168 yd

Explorer 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.

Swaefas WayWalking route · 335 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Swaefas Way sounds like a name from a fantasy novel. It’s probably just a muddy track through the fields. Don’t let the fancy name fool you into thinking it’s a palace.

Swaffham Community GardenGarden · 367 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer 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.

Children's playground786 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground in Breckland is protected by a moat of artificial grass. Wading through it burns your feet like fire. Take my photo from the far side so I don’t have to wade in myself today.

London to Walsingham - stage 08Walking route · 1.5 miComputer-made picture

Explorer 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 · 1.8 mi

Explorer 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 mi

Explorer 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.

Castle Acre PrioryScheduled monument · 3.6 miSporle MemorialMemorial · 3.7 mi

Explorer 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.
