Overview

A gently undulating walk through the lovely countryside in North West Essex, with a pub stop at the Axe & Compasses in Arkesden.  Much of the walk is on tracks but there are some places that can be muddy if wet.

Please car share if possible as it is some distance to travel and there is limited parking.
