マルドンでののおすすめランニングルート

The end of the road.

view on Maldon and barges

Check opening hours; I've only been Thurs Fri and Sat

A bit more basic than The Loft just down the road but open on Tue & Wed when The Loft is closed.

Great stop-off for tea/coffee or snack during a bike ride or walk. Bike and dog friendly. Staff were very friendly. You can sit inside or out.

Running through prom makes a nice stop on a route. It can be quite busy in the summer though.

great place for a beer and food after 2,5 hours hike!

Great cafe/restaurant at Tollesbury Marina. You can sit outside and overlook the Woodrolfe Creek.

These buildings are 2 magnox nuclear reactors which are now decommissioned, the two buildings will be removed by 2093, this is 136 years after construction began in 1957. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradwell_nuclear_power_station

Lovely little side street in Maldon, will investigate on a future visit.

Sales Point is the north-easterly point of the Dengie Peninsula. From here you look out over the mouth of the River Blackwater and out to sea. This area of shell bank or mudflat is especially important to breeding seabirds like the rare Little Tern, brent geese, knot, sanderling and grey plover. The trail around the edge of the nature reserve is good underfoot and allows for some fast flat running in a wild position.

The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall is one of the oldest churches and oldest buildings still in regular use in the country. Built in 653 by Bishop Cedd it's been a small church for almost 2,000 years.

The very end of the road so you'll have to retrace your route, but it's an interesting spot amid the marshes and there are a few cafes and bistros to make this a mid-ride stop.

Scenic cafe overlooking the water (literally over - it’s raised up on stilts). Open Thu-Sun 11am-3pm.

Independent cafe on the High St. Not much space to park bikes so best for solo or pair rides but good coffee and food, and local art on the walls. Tables and a window bar inside or a couple of small tables outside.

Nice place to stop for a break with sea (well, estuary) views but be aware you can't ride your bike in the park proper.

One of the oldest functioning buildings in the country, and built on the gateway of an even older Roman shore fort. The chapel is kept open for visitors. Be aware it's reached by a 0.7km unmade stone path after the tarmac ends at the car park - fine with a gravel bike or if you go carefully on a road bike in decent weather.

Scenic traditional quay with the old sailing barges moored up alongside.

Great location by the sea lock where the Blackwater Navigation meets the estuary, looking across to Northey Island.

Right at the end of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation sits Heybridge Basin. Home of the sea lock which releases the canal out to sea. The basin meant that sea vessels could enter the canal and travel all the way up to Chelmsford. There are two pubs here, the Jolly Sailor and the Old Ship, plus the Lock Tea Room if you are in need of a pitstop.
