The Saffron Trail threads through The Scrubs as a tree-lined path. This is actually a byway so look out for bikes, horses and even motor vehicles.

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.

The Parish Church of St. Nicholas, dating back to the 14th century, graces the village's High Street and commands a ridge with panoramic views of the River Crouch. The remarkable 15th-century tower, a distinctive landmark visible from afar, is attributed to King Henry V, believed to have been built in commemoration of his triumph at the Battle of Agincourt in France.

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.

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

Great views over South East Essex

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.

These woodlands are carpeted by beautiful Wood Anemones in Spring..
