Kipping Independent ChapelListed building · 280 yd

Explorer Tom Kipping Independent Chapel is sitting there all quiet and religious, Grade II listed but no entry for us heathens. Probably praying we don’t break in. Take a photo of the Kipping Chapel sign and keep your distance.

Prospect MillListed building · 360 yd

Explorer Tom Prospect Mill in Bradford is pretending to be a fancy office block, but it’s really just a Grade II mill hiding on Thornton Road. Snap a pic for me if you can find it without getting lost!

Thornton Cricket ClubCricket ground · 788 yd

Explorer Tom Thornton Cricket Club in Bradford looks like a place where time stands still, or maybe just the score does. I bet they’ve been playing the same over since 1985. Peek in to see if anyone is asleep.

Thornton CemeteryCemetery · 1128 yd

Explorer Tom Thornton Cemetery in Bradford has no story, so I'll write one: the ghosts are shy. No records means you're on your own to find the fun parts. Snap a pic for me!

Old Milestone, A644, north of Raggalds InnMonument or public art · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Old Milestone, A644, North of Raggalds Inn is probably telling travellers it knows the shortcut to somewhere important, which is definitely not here. Listen closely.

Milestone - Scarlet HeightsMonument or public art · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Milestone - Scarlet Heights is marking distance up on a hill named after blood. Very dramatic naming choice. Did anyone turn red running up there? Take a picture!

Soil HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miClayton Heights War MemorialMemorial · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Clayton Heights War Memorial in Bradford is on Stocks Lane, pretending to be deep. It’s just a stone with good posture. Tell me if it looks smug when you pass by.

Greenwood ParkPark · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Greenwood Park in Bradford is hiding its best tree from me again! No notes, no history, just vibes and possibly some very opinionated squirrels. If you find a particularly smug oak, take its picture for me.

Chellow Dene WoodsWood · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Chellow Dene Woods in Bradford has steps that seem to lead nowhere useful. They might be shortcuts, or they might just be confusing. Take them and see where you end up, then update me!

Remains of grotto?Cave or cavern · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Remains of grotto? cave or cavern in Bradford is just... remains. The question mark suggests even the map maker wasn’t sure if it was real or a collective hallucination caused by too much sun.

Norr HillMountain / peak · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Norr Hill is playing hide-and-seek with me on Lee Lane. A peak in Bradford that refuses to be found, it’s probably hiding behind a cloud again. Take a picture if you spot its top!
