This walk begins and ends in Great Totham, and takes in Shut Heath Wood. If we are lucky, the bluebells will still be out in Shut Heath Wood.
The walk is 5.9 miles long. Maldon and Dengie Ramblers' Sunday walks are normally between five and seven miles long and are circular walks.
Shut Heath Wood is a nature reserve managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust. Half the site is managed as farmland, and the rest is ancient oak woodland with coppiced sweet chestnut and hornbeam, and an understorey of ash, elder and hazel.
