Nice wide shaded path.

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.

Blackmore village is a place to visit they have a great Tea room Homemade cakes made on the premises just across the road there is a little church rumour have it Henry the eighth went there

Proper tea (loose) with our big breakfast.

Fantastic cafe stop in the pretty village of Blackmore. They've got a great menu and loads of outside space, a real favourite of local and London cyclists.

Massive slices of cake

Located in close proximity to Thorndon Old Hall which burnt down in the 18th century, the Pond is also known as Old Hall Pond. It is now a fishing lake and a popular spot for walkers. Make sure you pop out of the woods at the south west corner of the pond for incredible views over the Essex countryside to the south.

Outdoor tables and bike stands. Friendly, easy going cafe with delicious coffee and cake

Good road surface with a lovely view of the reservoir from either direction. Good bird spotting opportunities.

This clearing in Writtle Forest was the site of a 12th century hermitage. The area became Monk's-at-Barrow Farm, suggesting an earthwork once stood here. http://www.consultantecologist.co.uk/Ancient%20Woodland/Oliver%20Rackham%20Writtle%20Forest%201991.pdf (p. 8)

A large reservoir that serves as a protected haven for many species of wildfowl and is listed as a biological site of special scientific interest.

Great food and welcoming to cyclists, they now have bike racks outside

Great tea room recommended for cyclists

Lovely place to stop. Really good variety of sandwiches and panninis. Caters very well for cyclists.

Nice wide track through the woods, links up to Mapletree Lane and Blackmore Road.

St Margaret's is located on the edge of Bowers Gifford Marshes on the outskirts of Basildon and Pitsea. I hiked there along the train tracks from Basildon which is a surprisingly beautiful path, if you manage to ignore the trains going past every 20 mins. The church is a historic Grade II listed building with English Heritage and dates back to Saxon times. It is recorded in the Domesday Book and is a rare example of a working 'marsh located' church.

A rustic little café located in the back of an antique store. Simple but very nice. Cash only.

Watch out for conkers, but a lovely easy bit of off road through some ancient forest, used by Henry XIII for hunting when he stayed at Blackmore.

Great place to plan a stop on a ride out from London. An excellent cafe, a pub and also a supermarket next door. What more could you want?
