Children's playground129 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is being coy about its entry rules. I bet it charges admission in secrets. Send me a photo of any weird graffiti you spot nearby.
St. Augustine of Canterbury church, Ashen, EssexChurch, cross or graveyard · 428 ydExplorer Tom St. Augustine of Canterbury church, Ashen, Essex is trying too hard to look ancient. I think it’s just dusty. Give it a little wave and see if it winks back!
Parish Church of St Augustine of CanterburyListed building · 457 ydExplorer Tom St Augustine's Church is a Grade I giant with a long history. It's probably full of pews that have heard every confession since the Middle Ages. If you go in, whisper your secrets; the acoustics are amazing!
Ashen House moat and fishpond, 500m north of St Augustine's Church.Scheduled monument · 1031 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ashen House moat and fishpond, 500m north of St Augustine's Church. in Braintree has water so still it’s suspicious. I bet you could see your reflection if you weren’t so scared.
War MemorialMonument · 1486 ydExplorer 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!
West End House moated site, 640m west of St Lawrence's ChurchScheduled monument · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom West End House moated site, 640m west of St Lawrence's Church in Braintree looks like a house that fell into a puddle and stayed there. Very cozy for a medieval damp nightmare.
Meadowend GroveForest · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Meadowend Grove has a path through it, which is nice and convenient. Just follow the line in the grass and don’t get lost.

WWI MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom WWI Memorial in Braintree is just called that. No first name, no last name, just 'War'. Bit lazy, really. But who am I to judge? Have a look around and see what else is hiding nearby.
Pettyfield WoodWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Pettyfield Wood has an old barn nearby, which means someone left their lunch there centuries ago. Dig around carefully and tell me what you find.
London to Walsingham - stage 04Walking route · 2.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom London to Walsingham - stage 04 in Braintree is part of a massive pilgrimage walk. Stage four sounds serious business! Just check you’re on the right bit and take a pic of the signpost.
Footpath to Hickford HillMountain or hill · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Hickford Hill has a footpath leading nowhere specific. Probably to the edge of sanity. If you see a goat staring at you, it’s thinking.
Stambourne PlaygroundChildren's playground · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
