A majestic medieval ruin perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the Essex countryside and the Thames Estuary. Built in the 13th century under the reign of King Henry VIII and played a vital role in defending against potential invasion from the sea. It was strategically positioned to guard the Thames estuary. Excellent views across the countryside.

You can visit Hadleigh Castle for free and admire the ruins that have succumbed to the soft London clay on which it was built. The castle was first built in the 13th-century, with extensive renovation and expansion in the 14th-century by King Edward III. It's now owned by English Heritage and you can visit their website here https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/hadleigh-castle/

Scenic spot

Taken from the Hadleigh park website. "Upon entering this section riders have the choice to take the easy line to the left or opt-in to the difficult technical line on the right hand side. Riders will need to trust in their riding ability in order to ride off the steep tree root covered drop off, clear the gap to reach the steep downhill landing before a tight left hand berm to leave the section." This is a "Black" section and requires some skill or confidence to ride. The berm at the bottom is very worn, loose and flat so you will need to slow down very fast once you are at the bottom

The rangers have finally got this sorted and removed the no-cycling signs from public rights of way. They have added a no-cycling advisory to a 200m section to help prevent further surface damage. The advisory also asks walkers to take care. Most of the MTB track remains closed, its not a public right of way, so that's their prerogative.
