Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
This walk starts with a short ascent on a quiet paved road followed by unpaved paths through trees, along fields, woods and bush with outstanding surrounding views. We go through Hadleigh Country Park and then up to Hadleigh Castle; thereafter descending for Leigh on Sea which is the lunch stop. Please bring a packed lunch.
The latter section of the walk is on flat terrain along the coastal path with the option of looping around Two Three Island before rejoining the coastal path back to Benfleet Station.
Drop out point: Leigh on Sea after four miles.
No dogs.
No booking required.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
