Explore Essex on foot
Twenty walks reveal the contrasts of Essex, from half-timbered villages and open agricultural country to ancient woodland, estuaries, salt marsh and the unexpectedly green landscapes of the county’s more urban south.
The routes include Castle Hedingham, Coggeshall, Epping Forest, Finchingfield, Hadleigh Castle, Hatfield Forest, Layer Marney Tower, Paper Mill Lock, the Stour Estuary and Thaxted. The guide combines wildlife and countryside with historic settlements and sites, showing why Essex offers far more walking variety than its suburban reputation suggests.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information to help plan the outing.
