Danbury Circuit Walk

This pretty and varied circular walk is based on the village of Danbury, which is located on a hill to the east of Chelmsford and is surrounded by woodland and common land. The walk passes through the grounds of the 16th century Danbury Palace, crosses several woodlands and common lands and includes a short walk along the River Chelmer. The route involves a small degree of road walking. Parts of the walk, especially through the wooded sections, can get muddy after rain.

Use OS Explorer Map 183; alternatively, OS Landranger Map 167.

This walk commences and ends in the centre of Danbury (Grid reference TL 780052), which is served by the 31, 31X and 36 buses to and from Chelmsford. The bus stops are located near The Griffin Inn at the top of the hill.

Distance: Approximately 7.5 miles (12 Km).

Pubs: There is a pub at the southern end of Little Baddow and several in Danbury.
