Walking in Essex

Discover Essex in your walking boots and burn off a few calories while exploring the county's historic towns and charming villages. Look out for buildings dating back to the 17th century as you tackle the 20 mile Colne Valley Way and accompanying Colne Valley Walk - or admire the real-life version of Constable's river scenes with a walk along the River Stour.
