Overview

Circular walk from Chipping Ongar. We will walk on paths near the Epping Ongar Railway including a part of the Essex Way. Lunch will be at the North Weald station where there is a Classic Car & Motorcycle Show being held and steam & diesel trains and vintage buses will also be operating.

Please note there is a £19.50 (£18.50 concession) charge for travel (unlimited) on the diesel and steam trains and to visit the classic car show.

This walk offers a half day and full day walk. The half day option will involve getting the diesel or steam train after the morning walk from North Weald to Ongar. The full day option will include an afternoon walk from North Weald to Epping with a Heritage Bus ride and diesel or steam train return to Ongar.
