    Hiking

    Chipping Ongar is a pretty market town with a rich history. It was once the centre of an Anglo-Saxon hundred, an administrative area developed during the period. In 1162, Richard de Lucy, Chief Justice of England, built a great castle in the town. Whilst the castle was demolished in the 16th century, you can still see the site.

    You find some decent pubs and restaurants in the town, making it a good choice for a pit-stop. There is also a vintage railway line.
