アッシンドンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Saffron Trail threads through The Scrubs as a tree-lined path. This is actually a byway so look out for bikes, horses and even motor vehicles.

Covering over 130 hectares, Hockley Woods are the largest remaining area of the wild wood, which covered Essex after the Ice Age 10,000 years ago. A mixture of woodland paths and trails give a varied terrain to run. Lots of wildlife, a mixture of trees and a new car park. (Small parking charge applies)

As the name suggests, it's a jump over a fallen tree. Make sure you hit it straight when it's wet, it's not a perfect take off but makes the end of the trail fun and a little faster if your going for those segment times. There is a route around if your unsure.

Walking up Roach Valley Way, I was surprised to find an amazing view of the Southend 'skyline'. My photos don't do it justice. All in all, a very pleasant walk.
