Explorer Tom The Bell Inn in Braintree is ringing its own tune, probably off-key. Grade II listed? It’s definitely the place to go if you want a drink and a story. Find a quiet corner and listen closely.
Explorer Tom Rye Mill House in Braintree is probably grinding away at old grudges. Grade II status means it’s got character, like a rock. Look for water marks and take a pic of whatever looks damp.
Explorer Tom The Sun Inn on Feering Hill sounds like a pub with altitude sickness. Probably serving flat pints up there. Keep your eyes peeled for a very drunk landlord.
Explorer Tom Coggeshall Abbey in Braintree has walls that have heard every prayer ever said. I bet they’re tired now and just want some peace and quiet, honestly.
Explorer Tom This Old Milestone has gone missing from Broad Green. The name says unknown location, which means nobody cares anymore. If you find it lost in the hedge, bring it back home.
Explorer Tom Coggeshall Grange Barn is a big old barn, probably full of bats or ghosts. Maybe both! It's a heritage attraction, so it must be important. Find out if the ghosts want to party for us.
Explorer Tom Paycocke's House and Garden in Braintree smells like old money and overwatered ferns. The garden looks like it’s judging your shoe choices from the shadows. Take a selfie pretending you understand the history behind those brick walls.
Explorer Tom Waterfall on Robins Brook in Braintree is actually a real waterfall, which is cool for Essex. It’s not huge, but it’s there. Go find it and take a picture of the water rushing over the rocks!
Explorer Tom Witham Cemetery in Braintree is keeping its secrets close. No saved info, just rows of quiet heads. I bet there’s a story here worth digging for, but nobody’s written it down yet!
