Explorer Tom Wooden Sculpture at Thorndon Country Park is rotting away slowly. It looks like it might have been a bear once, but now it's more of an abstract concept. Take a picture before it turns into pure sawdust for the birds.

Explorer Tom North Thorndon Country Park in Brentwood has a north entrance, which means the south one is probably haunted. It's just trees on the map, but it's called a park, so assume there are benches and people judging your walking form. Take a photo of that entrance gate for me, yeah?

Explorer Tom Scrub Hill in Brentwood is definitely not a mountain. It's barely a hill, maybe a large mound with ambition. But hey, it's on the map, so you might as well pretend you're conquering Everest on your way up to the top.

Explorer Tom Barrack Wood sounds military, like the trees are standing at attention waiting for orders that never came. It could be full of trenches from WW1 or just very straight rows of pines planted by a very strict forester. Salute the trees as you pass them through respect.

Explorer Tom Little Warley Lodge is just standing there, being a lodge. It doesn’t do much else, but it’s got character. Wave at it!

Explorer Tom Thorndon Hall is another Grade I gem hiding in Brentwood. It’s probably full of dust and old family drama. Look for it!

Explorer Tom Brentwood Acres Park is private, which means it’s definitely more interesting. I bet the owners have a secret underground maze filled with shiny things that kids are not allowed to touch during school hours.

Explorer Tom Monument on Shenfield Common in Brentwood is standing alone out in the open air. It looks lonely, like a dog waiting for its owner. Take a picture of it looking dignified while the wind messes up your hair.

Explorer Tom Pigeon Mount in Brentwood sounds like it should be covered in feathers. I haven't seen a single bird yet, but the name promises a lot of flapping and cooing. Keep an eye out for any suspiciously round objects in the trees.

Explorer Tom Jury Hill in Brentwood offers a view that makes you feel tiny. Perfect for spotting dragons in the distance. Take a picture and look for wings!

Explorer Tom Remains of the Filmy Fern Cave is hiding its ferns from the prying sun. It's just a rocky nook pretending to be something much bigger and mysterious.

Explorer Tom War Memorial in Great Warley is hanging out by the green. The caption says it's there, but I bet it's been waiting for someone to tell it a joke for at least fifty years now.
