Overview

A riverfront walk on the Crouch.  A linear walk, but starting with a cheeky train trip from North Fambridge station to Burnham on Crouch station. Mainly level walking ground with views across to the south and west.

Station parking charge for the day is currently £4.90; single train ticket is £3.05 with a senior railcard, or within a Group ticket (3-9 people who must all travel on the same train).

The train is due to arrive at Burnham staion at 10.00 for those wishing to meet there. FYI the train stops at Althorne at 09.55.
