A lovely walk around the Cambridgeshire border.

An impressive Jacobean House, a colourful park and a cute pub are a few of the things you can discover during the Audley End Walk. Follow me in Essex for a walk through history, perfect for a stroll with friends, family and our four-legged companions.

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.

A picturesque walk (public paths) along the famous river that gave its name to Cambridge. Enjoy seeing the rowers racing in their fragile boats, the cox shouting at them, and the coach biking along the path.

You will enjoy the scenery south of Cambridge along the Cam river, and the picturesque village of Grantchester.

Easy walk starting at Wicken Fen Nature Reserve parking. The walk is along the waterways.

A circular walk from Histon to Girton and beyond. Through woods, across fields and on a variety of tracks and roads.

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. Reviewed and updated April 2024

A surprisingly rural walk on the outskirts of Cambridge, seeing the Histon and Oakington parish churches and an ancient oak. Occasional glimpses of guided buses hurtling along.

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.

Two villages and atmospheric fenland droves around the White Cross Farm.

Along the Great Ouse to a historic pumphouse and a popular riverside pub.

A river and fenland walk to the stunning cathedral city.

A loop walk at Tolleshunt Knights, close to Tiptree in Essex. The route is predominately on grassy footpaths with a few road/track sections particularly towards the end. Parts of the track afford some good views over the Blackwater Estuary.
