RV and tent pitches behind pub. Agree about the shower block, new and well-looked after. Also four double rooms available at £75 a night. Pub open every day from noon. Kitchen open for lunch and dinner every day except Monday. Great base for exploring the area.

Campsite at the back of the pub. Great if your touring/bikepacking. Good shower block

Give yourself plenty of time to complete the walk. It started getting dark so instead of finishing we diverted and headed home to Bradwell. Not the prettiest or most scenic of routes as its mainly just field after field.

Fabulous sunsets if you pick the time of your visit

Huge, elevated views from St Lawrence Hill northwards across the Blackwater estuary from Osea Island towards Tollesbury Marshes. Photos don't do it justice.

The parish church in the village of Steeple doesn't have a tower, it has...you guessed it...a steeple.

Pleasant spot overlooking the green in Tillingham but set back away from the main road traffic.

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.
