Finchley & Hornsey is a friendly group, open to everyone. We walk mainly in Herts and surrounding counties.
A linear estuary and coastal walk in Essex. We start at Benfleet and finish at Southend-on-Sea with good views all the way. We pass through Hadleigh Downs Country Park, Hadleigh Castle, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff and finally along the coast ending at Southend on Sea where there is an optional meal before returning on the train to London. There will be opportunities to stop along the way for refreshments and toilets, but bring a picnic.
