ティリンガムでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Give yourself plenty of time to complete the walk. It started getting dark so instead of finishing we diverted and headed home to Bradwell. Not the prettiest or most scenic of routes as its mainly just field after field.

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.

Standing on the old Roman road that leads to an Anglo-Saxon chapel, looking at a nuclear power station. A real collision of the ages.

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.

Pleasant spot overlooking the green in Tillingham but set back away from the main road traffic.

Built in 649 AD by St Cedd who sailed here from Lindasfarne, using the stones from an old Roman building. Open every day to look around.

Great little place to stop for coffee and cake.
