セントオシス市民教区での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Secure WW2 bunker that you can still enter (if you're small enough!)

Bit long. Remember it goes dark at 16:00 in Winter. We did half of it in tge dark though perfectly safe.

Not much you can really explore here wearing road cleats. There's a snack stall if you've come to the end of the road, but Mersea Barns cafe just a couple of km back up the road is a better choice.

Towards the eastern tip of Mersea Island, Cudmore Grove Country Park is a lovely sandy beach.

Great spot for lunch or a cup of coffee and they're dog friendly so bring your loyal companion with you.

A great swimming spot

In spring this wood comes alive with colour, with Bluebells carpeting the woodland floor before shifting to bright yellow as Yellow Archangel takes hold. In the early spring evenings, the musky scent of Moschatel flowers fills the air as the dew forms. In the Alder glades and Hazel coppice, Climbing Corydalis tendrils can be seen reaching for the trees and ferns, with their delicate creamy-white flowers on full show in the early summer. Throughout the woodland different patches of trees can be found, ranging from Oak, Sweet Chestnut coppice, to Scots and Corsican pine plantation, where White Admiral butterflies can be seen flitting through the trees in late Summer. Damaged in the great storm of 1987, the woodland has bounced back and is now flourishing. From April to mid-May, listen carefully for the beautiful serenading song of Nightingale, among the calls of other woodland birds. (https://www.essexwt.org.uk/nature-reserves/weeleyhall-wood)

Nice to walk along the sandy beach.
