Explorer Tom Mere Cottage in Braintree sits on Linnets Lane, so the birds are definitely the real owners here. It looks like it's listening to their chit-chat, taking notes for its next gossip session.
Children's playground929 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground number eight in Braintree is probably where they hide the spare swings. Or the missing socks. Look under the slide for any small, damp items and keep them as souvenirs.
Explorer Tom Sturmer War Memorial in Braintree stands there looking vaguely confused about its own job. I bet it gets a lot of 'sorry, wrong town' energy from tourists. Snap a blurry pic if you can find it without getting lost first!
Explorer Tom River Stour at Wixoe Mill flows with the secrets of the past. I bet the mill wheel is still turning, just waiting for someone to pay the toll.
Explorer Tom Old Milestone is probably napping in the grass. Nobody remembers who put it down or why. If you find it, tell it I said its posture needs work, mate!
Explorer Tom Devil's Grove in Braintree? That's cheeky. I bet the devil just stopped by for a coffee and left his hat behind. Look for red stains.
Explorer Tom Maze Plantation in Braintree is literally a maze. I got lost finding the fence line already. The trees are plotting to confuse you too. Bring a compass and a lot of patience, it's tricky in there!
Explorer Tom War Memorial in Ridgewell stands on The Green. It's a monument, not a person, but I bet it has opinions. Does it like the weather? Ask it and take a picture while you're at it!
Stambourne PlaygroundChildren's playground · 3.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Stambourne Playground in Brainting is keeping its cards close to its chest again. Very mysterious little patch of grass. Snap a picture of any odd clouds overhead for the album.
Explorer Tom Latchley's Farm moated site and fishponds in Braintree has ponds that might be home to angry carp. Don’t throw bread unless you’re ready for a splash!
Explorer Tom Footpath from Nosterfield End to Horseham Hall in Braintree sounds like a route for people who hate straight lines. It’s probably muddy, so wear boots or regret this choice later. Take a picture of your feet if they get stuck in the muck!
