Joint Walk with the London Blind Ramblers : Benfleet to Southend

Starting from Benfleet station we’ll walk on the King Charles III coastal path along the Thames estuary to Leigh on Sea for lunch (approx 4 miles). Picnic lunch at Leigh on Sea with cafes for hot/cold drinks. After lunch we’ll continue to Chalkwell station (opportunity to drop out after 5.25 miles). From Chalkwell, we’ll head away from the coastal path and walk through parks, then along the Prittle Brook Greenway to Priory Park. At Priory Park there’s a café for tea and cake or ice creams. If the weather is nice, we can enjoy the old walled gardens and we may be able to arrange a tour of the priory/museum. Total distance about 8.5 miles. Return from Prittlewell station or bus to Southend Central station. 

If you are able to offer help in guiding those visually impaired walkers who need assistance, please email jackie.ramblers@gmail.com or text 07796 264917 so we know how many members of the London Blind Ramblers we can invite.
