Overview

This is a circular walk around that covers the Dengie Penisula.  It starts at Maldon (taking in Promenade Park) and heads towards Maylandsea along the River Blackwater,  before returning to Maldon.  The walk takes in views of Northey Island (where the first Vikings invaded England) and the Blackwater River.

Parts of the walk maybe damp / muddy, so walking boots / shoes are recommended.  There will be a lunch stop inMaylandsea, so please bring a packed lunch.   There will also be the option of a pub stop at the end. 

Places need to be prebooked with the walk leader. Please contact David on 07866 913446

This walk was originally done last December and it was feltby the walkers that it would be good to offer the walk again in summer / early autumn (as we didn’t have time to venture into Maylandsea).
