This website provides details of a series of walks, the vast majority of which are located in Essex, based on the following broad principles:

The start and end of a walk should be at a railway station or bus stopThe walk should be worth doing (i.e. have features of interest)Travel time to the start of the walk should not be excessive - normally an hour or less (although a few of our walks lie outside this 'limit')There must be a pub involved that is open lunchtime and which sells real ale and, preferably, food.

Many of the original walks, and a few of the later ones, included in this site were researched by Graham Foxhall, the leader of an informal group of walkers which goes by the name "Foxy's Pub Ramblers". The list of these walks has since been added to and updated over the past three years by Graham Jones - and is still evolving.

Our group and this website have nothing to do with any commercial organisation and we are independent of any other walking body.

Our aim is to share the experiences of our group with others and, hopefully, provide ideas for walks you may not have tried.

There are currently details of 44 walks on this website, some with more than one option to their routes (see 'The Walks'), and the number is growing on a regular basis.
