Lovely place to sit and watch the wildlife. I've spent some time reading my book here and saw a kingfisher a couple of times.

Osea Island is a relatively unknown Essex retreat in the Blackwater Estuary with private beaches, no shops or restaurants and mainly self catering accommodation.

The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall is one of the oldest churches and oldest buildings still in regular use in the country. Built in 653 by Bishop Cedd it's been a small church for almost 2,000 years.

One of the oldest functioning buildings in the country, and built on the gateway of an even older Roman shore fort. The chapel is kept open for visitors. Be aware it's reached by a 0.7km unmade stone path after the tarmac ends at the car park - fine with a gravel bike or if you go carefully on a road bike in decent weather.

Any pub that has a Blackadder-themed sign automatically gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The Prince Regent is on the sign, so maybe the landlord is a Mr E. Blackadder Esq., Mr S. Baldrick is the cellar boy and the cook is Mrs Miggins (just don't order the Scarlet Pimpernel Sauce).

You will need to find a passing place or pull into the hedge if you meet an oncoming car. On a practical level, it's very quiet and has a number of field gates where you can nip behind a hedge to answer the call of nature on a long ride!

Can be muddy in winter when walking to the further falls

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.
