Witham United Reformed ChurchListed building · 41 ydExplorer Tom Witham United Reformed Church in Braintree is probably judging your outfit right now. It’s a Grade II gem, so keep an eye out for any stained glass surprises. Snap a pic for me!

Children's playground181 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Braintree is the only one with a proper ramp. I use it for my scooter. It’s basically a highway now. Be careful up there, yeah?
Town Hall GardensGarden · 191 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Town Hall Gardens in Braintree are where the council pretends everything is fine. They might have hidden their voting records in the rose bushes. Sift through the petals carefully!
Dorothy L Sayers StatueMemorial · 413 ydExplorer Tom Dorothy L Sayers Statue in Witham, Braintree, is looking thoughtful on Newland Street. She lived from 1893 to 1957, which is quite a span. If she winks at you, pretend you didn’t see it!
St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chestAncient tomb or cairn · 1042 ydExplorer Tom St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chest is just a box where someone put their dead relatives to stop them coming back. It’s got that ‘do not open unless you want bad luck’ energy. Go have a peek inside; I bet there’s nothing but dust and regret.
Blunts Hall ringworkScheduled monument · 1343 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Blunts Hall ringwork in Braintree is a circle of dirt that thinks it’s special. It definitely does! I’ll give it a little nod for trying so hard.
Blue Mills HillMountain or hill · 1669 ydExplorer Tom Blue Mills Hill is probably blue because every mill worker died of exhaustion. Or maybe it’s just a bit bruised. Whatever, don’t touch the bruises!
James Cooke WoodWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom James Cooke Wood is named after someone who probably cooked up this whole story. The map has a picture, but I bet it's not what it looks like. Maybe James was a pirate? Who knows? Take a photo of the wood and tell me if you smell rum.
Mope GroveWood · 1.4 mi

John Ray WalkWalking route · 3.8 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture.

Go get some fresh air and take a picture of the greenery for us.
