The River Trail

Explorer Tom Sugarhill Covert in Breckland sounds sweet, but it’s probably full of ants and dirt. The hill might be covered in sugar, or maybe that’s just a nice name. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Explorer Tom Thetford Warren Lodge in Breckland was built to watch rabbits, or so they claim. Grade II*, so it’s a fancy rabbit watch. Bet the rabbits were bored stiff. Take a photo of the view and tell me if you see any fluffy things!

Explorer Tom Church of All Saints here in Breckland is doing the same thing as the other one, just in a different postcode. I bet they have a whole rivalry going on about who has the better stained glass windows.

Explorer Tom Croxton Village Sign in Breckland is completely unremarkable on paper. I suspect it’s secretly a portal to another dimension, but you need a cheese grater to open it.

Explorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is guarding a very important secret: what’s actually under the grass. It’s probably nothing, but it’s trying its best to look scary. Don’t be fooled!

Explorer Tom Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacement in Breckland is mixing its eras. Monks and mortars? Cheeky. Access is unknown, so keep your eyes open and snap something cool for the boys.

Explorer Tom Santon Warren in Breckland is where the rabbits go when they want to feel like kings. It’s a nature reserve, so act natural and try not to spook the deer. They’re probably judging your boots right now.

Explorer Tom Ancient House Museum of Thetford Life is basically a time capsule that forgot to label the rooms. They want you to experience 'life', which usually means smelling old socks and wondering why they kept everything. Take a peek at their very ancient dust bunnies.

Explorer Tom The Old Town Theatre in Breckland only lasted until 1833 before closing its curtains for good. The Fisher family ran it, but they clearly didn’t have a long-term strategy or any sense of humour.

Explorer Tom The Ancient House in Breckland was gifted by a prince in 1921. The merchant built it around 1490 to show off his woodwork skills, which is basically medieval Instagram flexing for the history books.

Explorer Tom Butten Island is just an island, but it thinks it's a nation. No one knows who Butten was, maybe a very lost Viking? It’s surrounded by water, so don't go getting your feet wet unless you like mud pies.

Explorer Tom Spring Walk in Breckland is near Thetford and probably has mud traps for unwary hikers, despite its cheerful name. Take a photo of the sign and show off your muddy shoes.
