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

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

Scenic crossing point on the River Chelmer, after a nice twisting descent from Woodham Walter.

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.

Not very busy road with with nice view

A very nice restaurant/ bar

Sizeable ancient coppice woodland with a few circular paths throughout. The forest floor on the western end comes alive with woodland blooms in the spring.
