Explorer Tom Chalkney Wood has a main ride that sounds like it’s for people who like to bump into each other. I bet the trees are still bruised from all the horse traffic. Look for hoof prints that look suspiciously like footprints.

Monument in Colne ParkScheduled monument · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Monument in Colne Park in Braintree is just standing there looking mysterious. I bet it knows where all the lost keys to the park gates are hidden!

Colne park monumentMonument or public art · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Colne park monument in Braintree is probably just a statue that got left behind by the gardeners. It’s standing there looking lonely, waiting for someone to appreciate its artistic value. Go give it a pat on the head; it’ll like that, I promise.

Hoe WoodWood · 1.9 miGraveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineChurch, cross or graveyard · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine in Braintree is full of quiet folks. Access is unknown, so don’t wander too far in unless you want to be stuck with the ghosts.

The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne EngaineCastle, fort or tower · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom The Tower at St. Andrews Church Colne Engaine is definitely trying to outdo everyone else on the block. It’s got that ‘look at me, I’m tall’ energy. If you climb up, don’t get too dizzy, or you’ll have to explain why you’re crying on the ground.

Castle MoundCastle · 2.6 miThe War Memorial at PebmarshHeritage place · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom The War Memorial at Pebmarsh in Braintree is standing guard over a village that probably ignores it most days. It’s very dignified, which I respect, even if I’d prefer a pizza shop nearby. Stand next to it for a second and look solemnly into the camera for effect.
