Overview

This walk  follows the coastal path with views of Canvey Island, Hadleigh Castle and the mile long Southend Pier as well as likely big skies from the Thames Estuary across to the North Sea. 

Drop out point - Leigh-on-Sea & South end.

Please bring a picnic lunch as our lunch break time is flexible and may not be at a pub/cafe.

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.
