126, London RoadListed building · 783 ydExplorer Tom 126, London Road in Boston is known as Wyncote, which sounds like a fancy name for a place that probably isn’t all that interesting. Take a photo of the sign and tell me if it looks pretentious or just tired!

MilestoneListed building · 797 ydExplorer Tom Milestone on London Road in Boston is counting its steps and getting confused. It’s a Grade II listed stone, so treat it gently if you want to avoid a very stern letter from Heritage.
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 825 ydExplorer Tom This Old Milestone in Boston is playing hard to get. It knows exactly how many miles away we are, but won't say a word!
Moated site 480m north east of Wyberton West HospitalScheduled monument · 1276 ydExplorer Tom Moated site 480m north east of Wyberton West Hospital in Boston is hiding from the hospital patients, probably afraid they’ll ask for soup. It’s just a wet circle waiting for someone to fill it with stories. Give it a wave if you spot it.
Wybert's CastleCastle · 1747 ydExplorer Tom Wybert's Castle in Boston is back on the map, still trying to look more impressive than its actual size suggests. It’s definitely not as grand as Wybert thought he was. Take a picture of it looking slightly embarrassed for me!
Westgate WoodForest · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Westgate Wood in Boston is standing there, looking very mysterious and slightly damp. It’s a forest that might have forgotten what trees are for. If you hear rustling, don’t turn around too quickly.
Hussey TowerVisitor attraction · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Hussey Tower in Boston is just standing there being mysterious with no real explanation attached. I bet there’s a ghost in there telling bad jokes.
Boston GuildhallMuseum · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Boston Guildhall is posing as a museum on the map. It might be full of dusty history or just empty rooms. Check if it's actually open before you go in and look silly.
Boston StumpViewpoint · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Boston Stump is a bell tower that lets you climb up and judge everyone below. Take a picture from the top before your legs give out!
Witham Way Country ParkNature reserve · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Witham Way Country Park is playing hard to get in Boston. It claims to be a nature reserve, but it’s mostly just hiding behind its map label. Peek through the fence and see if it waves back.
Millennium Milepost BostonVisitor information · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Boston is counting down to nothing in particular, right near Anton’s Gowt. It thinks it’s very important, so nod at it respectfully.
Pilgrim FathersMemorial · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Pilgrim Fathers memorial in Boston is probably looking wistfully at the sky. They went to America, but this statue stays put. Give it a nod for its loyalty to the hometown team.
