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.

Walking Terling Circular

Walker
↔9.15 km ↗+20 m ↘-30 m ◔2h 40 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Terling (Essex)

A countryside walk beginning and ending in the village of Terling. Nothing spectacular about the route but it has some nice views and pleasant countryside, passes an old windmill and a rare round tower church. The route follows the course of the River Ter in places, and there are quite a few springs along the way, so it can get muddy. There are a couple of woods with excellent displays of bluebells in the spring but it is a good walk for any time of year. Waymarking is generally excellent.

Details are given for a shorter walk of 4 miles that does not visit Great Leighs church.

Walking Two Colnes Circular

Walker
↔8.46 km ↗+50 m ↘-50 m ◔2h 35 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Earls Colne (Essex)

A walk from Earls Colne to Colne Engaine and return, via some unspoiled North Essex countryside. There are a couple of short sections on quiet lanes but for the most part it's fields and woods all the way. Sections of the walk run along the Colne Valley Path and the route never strays far from the River Colne.

Walking Great Dunmow Town Trail

Walker
Great Dunmow Town Trail
↔4.35 km ↗+32 m ↘-32 m ◔1h 20 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Great Dunmow (Essex)

A circular walk around the small Essex town of Great Dunmow.
With plenty of historic buildings, a fine 13th century church, some great pubs and a fantastic Indian Restaurant this provides any visitor a taste of this ancient town. The walk is simple and easy and one cannot visit Dunmow without discovering the interesting history of the Dunmow Fitch which is the main feature to this walk.

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 Another Hatfield Peverel Circular

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

Walking Wickham Bishops Circular

Walker
Wickham Bishops Circular
↔9.76 km ↗+118 m ↘-128 m ◔3h 10 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Wickham Bishops (Essex)

An easy stroll in the countryside near Wickham Bishops, departing close to the redundant St Peter's church, passing beneath the last wooden railway viaduct in the country and then along the meandering banks of the River Blackwater. The return passes through woodland and has some excellent views across the Essex countryside. This is an all-seasons walk but is particularly good in spring and autumn.

Walking Two Tothams Pub

Walker
↔11.27 km ↗+60 m ↘-60 m ◔3h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Great Totham (Essex)

Starting and ending in Great Totham, this walk visits The Swan in Little Totham - a fine, privately owned freehouse, built in the 16th century.
For those not wanting, or are unable, to visit the pub, an amended route is given.
