Essex Pub Walks
A series of walks in the Essex countryside accessible via public transport
Dedham Vale & Flatford Mill Walk
This walk is one of our favourites, taking in parts of the Essex Way and the Stour Valley Path and visiting the picturesque town of Dedham and the beautiful stretch of the River Stour by Flatford Mill. It involves a relatively small amount of road walking. An alternative return route is provided in the walk directions.

Going: Mainly flat, with some gradual climbs/descents (Relatively Easy)
Distance: Approximately 9 miles (14.5 Km); optional route 9.7 miles (15.5 Km).
Places of Interest: St Mary's Church in Dedham village; Flatford Mill.
Pubs: There are two pubs in Dedham, plus they serve real ale in the station buffet on Manningtree rail station. On the optional return route, there are additional pubs in Stratford St. Mary and East Bergholt.
