ヘロンゲートアンドイングレイブのおすすめランニングルート

There are loads of singletracks and cycle paths to explore in these woods. Follow the wheel (looks like a cog) signs for the cycle path. It can get very muddy in the wet.

There's a cafe in here - also a toilet block and a shelter from the sun/rain.

The gravel here is glacial. The sand and pebbles at the base of the wall show a cross section of river beds that flowed from an ice sheet 450,000 years ago.

Thorndon Old Hall burnt down in the 18th century, leaving behind ruins and Old Hall Pond. The pond is now a fishing lake and a popular spot for recreation. Make sure you pop out of the woods at the south west corner of the pond for incredible views over the Essex countryside to the south. It is easy to see why they built a mansion here.

Located in close proximity to Thorndon Old Hall which burnt down in the 18th century, the Pond is also known as Old Hall Pond. It is now a fishing lake and a popular spot for walkers. Make sure you pop out of the woods at the south west corner of the pond for incredible views over the Essex countryside to the south.

At the edge of Thorndon Country Park South you are rewarded with incredible far reaching views to the south. The ruins of Thorndon Old Hall are just behind you and it is easy to see why this spot was picked for the location of a country mansion. It was badly damaged by fire in the early 18th century and a new estate house was built a short distance to the north close to Ingrave.

Not too many birds today, but a good walk and excellent trees.
