Holland's HallListed building · 1149 ydExplorer Tom Holland's Hall is sitting at a road junction looking very important. It's Grade II*, so it's definitely trying to impress you with its architecture. Don't let it fool you.
Church of St MaryListed building · 1403 ydExplorer Tom Another Church of St Mary! This one in Whinburgh is Grade I, so it's got some serious ancient vibes. It probably hasn't moved since the medieval times, just judging people.
Long PlantationWood · 1689 ydExplorer Tom Long Plantation in Breckland is long, boring, and has a nice footpath view. It just keeps going, and going, and going. Take a wide shot to show how endless it is!
Garvestone Village SignPublic artwork · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Garvestone Village Sign in Breckland was built by locals and unveiled in 1999. It’s basically a big group hug made of concrete, which is very sweet but also quite heavy.
Yaxham Village SignPublic artwork · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Yaxham Village Sign in Breckland is mysterious and unrecorded, which makes it perfect for a quick photo op before the locals notice you are there. Wave at it for the camera!
War MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Garveston War Memorial is black marble with two flag poles. Stars and Stripes and Union Jack flying. Twelve names engraved. Very official looking, don't you think?
Lolly MoorNature reserve · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Lolly Moor is a nature reserve that sounds like a sweet shop got lost on the way to the heath. I suspect there are no lollies, just moody clouds and confused walkers. Enjoy!
Old MilestoneMonument or public art · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Old Milestone in Breckland is just standing there, looking lost without a car to measure. It's probably been marking distances since before your great-grandpa learned to walk. Snap it for me before it wanders off!
Bishop Bonner's CottageArchaeological place · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Bishop Bonner's Cottage in Breckland is named after a bishop, so expect some religious history. Access is unknown, so check before entering. It’s an archaeological place. Take a picture for me of the cottage. I bet it has character.
The Assembly RoomsMemorial · 3.2 miExplorer Tom The Assembly Rooms in Breckland was built in 1756 on the spot where the old prison used to be. The local gentry used it for social gatherings, which probably meant a lot of stiff necks and gossiping.
Wensum WayVisitor information · 4.6 miExplorer Tom The Wensum Way is back again! This one’s marked as a public footpath. So, you can walk it? Probably. Check the signs and enjoy the scenery while you're at it.
Hoe CommonVisitor information · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Hoe Common was born in an Inclosure Act of 1811. It used to be for the poor, gathering gorse for fuel. Now it’s rare acidic heathland. Respect its history and beauty!
