Lovely small church. We happened to visit when they were having a group lunch, and the vicar was lovely enough to offer us some of the fish soup they were all enjoying. We declined as we had packed lunches, but it was very generous of them. They welcomed us to take a look around while they continued their lunch.

Nice wide shaded path.

You can enjoy lovely views of Hanningfield Reservoir from this road on the south side. The reservoir is framed by beautiful woodlands and meadows, making it a favourite spot for walkers in the Essex area.

Walk down the public footpath to get a great view of this magnificent building. Built between 1764-1770 by the architect James Paine, it was originally owned by Baron Petre of Writtle, one of Britain's wealthiest land owners. The house is now private luxury apartments and cottages.

Now luxury apartments, Thorndon Hall was built in the late 18th century as the Petre family's country mansion. The house is set in a medieval deer park through which a footpath leads so it's possible run straight through the country estate.

Good road surface with a lovely view of the reservoir from either direction. Good bird spotting opportunities.

This clearing in Writtle Forest was the site of a 12th century hermitage. The area became Monk's-at-Barrow Farm, suggesting an earthwork once stood here. http://www.consultantecologist.co.uk/Ancient%20Woodland/Oliver%20Rackham%20Writtle%20Forest%201991.pdf (p. 8)
