↔12.14 km ↗+182 m ↘-182 m ◔4h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Little Baddow (Essex)

A circular walk that circumnavigates the village of Little Baddow. Beginning in Lingwood Common, the route follows bridleways, footpaths, the river towpath and quiet country lanes. A good walk for any time of year, but not after spells of prolonged rain when the towpath, especially, can become something of a quagmire. Walking it in spring is highly recommended as Blake's Wood is nationally known for its display of bluebells.

Walking Hutton Village to Thames Chase Forest Centre

Walker
↔17.45 km ↗+90 m ↘-145 m ◔5h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Brentwood (Essex)

From wooden bus stop we follow Hutton Village, then off-road to the old church. We go cross-country to Ingrave, past the huge pile of Thorndon House & thru' Thorndon Park North. As well as the park, the route takes in many other properties owned by the Thames Chase Community Forest, including Warley Gap, Codham Hall Woods & Franks Wood. We pass thru' Little Warley, Great Warley and skirt the outside of Upminster on our way to the finish at the Thames Chase Forest Centre at Broadfields Farm.

Walking Woodham Walter Circular

Walker
↔8.50 km ↗+51 m ↘-48 m ◔2h 35 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Woodham Walter (Essex)

This walk, close to the ancient village of Woodham Walter, offers a nature reserve, arable fields, woodland and The Wilderness. The route is along bridleways and footpaths for the most part, with a couple of short sections on country lanes. There are only two cross-field paths so it's a good winter walk but, like any Essex hike, it can be muddy after rain.

Walking Another Hatfield Peverel Circular

Walker
↔7.94 km ↗+30 m ↘-31 m ◔2h 20 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Hatfield Peverel (Essex)

Pleasant stroll in the Essex countryside at Hatfield Peverel along field paths, secluded lanes and a quiet stretch of the river bank.

Walking Hatfield Peverel Circular

Walker
↔8.59 km ↗+30 m ↘-30 m ◔2h 30 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Hatfield Peverel (Essex)

A pleasant stroll in the Essex countryside along field paths, secluded lanes and a stretch of river bank. Along the way there is an 18th century former priory, a canal lock (and tearoom), the delightfully named World's End Cottage, a ford and the Parish Church of St. Andrew.

Walking Little Leighs Circular

Walker
Little Leighs Circular
↔11.67 km ↗+18 m ↘-18 m ◔3h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Great and Little Leighs (Essex)

A circular walk in a comparatively unspoiled part of mid Essex, between Chelmsford and Braintree. It is particularly suited to being a winter walk as most of the route is on quiet country lanes, surfaced bridleways and grassy field paths, thus avoiding the worst of the Essex mud. It is a good walk for any time of year though, with fine views across open countryside and is, for the most part, devoid of traffic noise.
