쉬운 파글샴 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

The salt marsh at Paglesham Pool preserves traces of past oyster cultivation, evident in rows and rectangular pool-shaped depressions. Further downstream, attention is drawn to a substantial box-shaped structure - the rusted metal core of a shipwrecked wooden vessel. A handful of derelict boats rest near the oyster beds, and just beyond, concealed beneath the marshland, lies the remains of the HMS Beagle.

Lovely coastal pathway looking over to Great Stambridge. Barling Magna Wildlife Reserve is just set back from the route. A mixture of woodland and fauna with lots of birds and wildlife to see.

Small, friendly, independent cafe with a few indoor tables as well as a couple on the street. Open 9.00-4.00 every day serving sandwiches, toasties, wraps, bagels etc. as well as cake and coffee.

Gives views of the old quay of Burnham and the estuary of the River Crouch across towards Wallasea Island.

If you need refreshment at this point turn left out of the gate. After a couple of hundred yds on the right after the railway arch is the Parlour Cafe

good way to complete a circuit across the River Crouch - a little expensive but something a bit different. £5 per adult and £2 per bicycle. Chap who runs it is lovely. You ring his mobile and he comes to get you. You get the ferry from the Harbourmaster's office. See Burnham ferry website for details

No sign of the Beagle but a beautiful, very 'Essexy' spot.

Access to the seawall from here - West takes you (nearly) all the way to Rochford (3 miles-ish); East takes you 10 miles via Barling, Wakering Boatyard to Wakering Stairs.
