Woolpack InnListed building · 711 ydExplorer Tom Woolpack Inn in Witham sounds heavy, like it carries all the town's secrets on its back. Grade II listed and probably sticky from old ale. Look up at the sign carefully.
Church of St NicolasListed building · 764 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Nicolas in Witham is right by the river walk. St Nick is watching over the water and the church. Grade I means it’s the best of the bunch. Take a photo from the river if you can!
St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chestAncient tomb or cairn · 811 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.
Dorothy L Sayers StatueMemorial · 1315 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!
Dorothy L Sayers Statue, Freebournes Court, Witham EssexMonument or public art · 1389 ydExplorer Tom Dorothy L Sayers Statue, Freebournes Court, Witham Essex in Braintree is standing there with an air of intellectual superiority that’s quite annoying to look at. She probably knows more about detective novels than you do right now. Nod respectfully and try not to roll your eyes too hard while taking a picture!
Tarecroft WoodWood · 1599 ydExplorer Tom Tarecroft Wood is approaching you faster than you think. It’s all very mysterious, so keep your phone ready to capture the eerie atmosphere in Braintree.
Inscribed stone, Little Braxted churchAncient stone or rock art · 1.1 mi
Rivenhall ThicksWood · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Rivenhall Thicks is thick with trees and probably even thicker with mud. I bet there’s a secret path hidden in the undergrowth that leads to nowhere. If you get stuck, just wait for Tom to rescue you.
Blue Mills HillMountain or hill · 1.8 miExplorer 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!
Cressing Temple BarnsVisitor information · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Cressing Temple Barns in Braintree looks old enough to tell you off. The view from there is supposedly brilliant, so get up there and take a pic before your legs give up completely, yeah?
White Notley Village SignPublic artwork · 2.7 miExplorer Tom White Notley Village Sign in Braintree is bright and shiny. It stands out like a sore thumb, which is exactly what we need for a good photo. Flash your camera and make it shine!
Cressing War MemorialMemorial · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Cressing War Memorial in Braintree is dedicated to freedom and right. It has a lovely inscription about love and laying down lives. Stand there for a minute and feel the weight of history!
