Hanningfield Reservoir is celebrated for its significant wildfowl populations and serves as a sanctuary for nature and wildlife. It’s an ideal destination for a day out, offering a range of attractions including the Café on the Water, a gift shop, a play park, fishing opportunities with an on-site tackle shop, picnic areas, and scenic woodland walks. Visitors can also explore the Essex Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre and nearby nature reserve. With convenient road access and free parking, Hanningfield provides something for everyone to enjoy.

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.

From Swan Lane, past Martin's Farm (Alpacas!) there is a well cleared bridleway (watchout for tree cuttings!) gated section in the middle (magnetic catches, just push to open) and across the River Wid at Hope's Bridge eventually arriving on Maldon Road.

Good place for a break

Take a coffee there

Pretty Essex village centred around the village pond. A lovely spot to stop for a breather or refreshment.

A very nice restaurant/ bar

The long drags at 3% can sometimes be worse than the short but steeper hills. Great riding around this area and pretty much traffic free.
