Essex Pub Walks
A series of walks in the Essex countryside accessible via public transport
Welcome ...
Flatford Mill
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.
Our aim is to share the experiences of our group with others and, hopefully, provide ideas for walks you may not have tried. Our group and this website have nothing to do with any commercial organisation and we are independent of any other walking body.
There are currently details of 46 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.
Hadleigh Castle
Note: Following detailed changes to the National Express East Anglia train timetables in January 2011, the journey times to the start of certain walks have increased and/or some connections have become more dislocated, so please check the latest train and bus timetables (see Info. Sources page). An example is the Southminster line, where the majority of trains now run as a shuttle service between Wickford and Southminster and where the times for the D4 bus from Southminster to Bradwell Waterside are no longer synchronised with the trains.
