Great ride & quite roads

Great service and quick! The hill back up is a wonderful! (Watch out if u have Angina!)

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.

Lovely location, great Tea room and fantastic home-baked cakes

Very nice Tea room in lovely location. We enjoyed the drinks and fantastic home-made cakes. Recommended.

Excellent Tea Room overlooking the lock. Excellent cake and light snacks. Toilets.

Excellent small pub. Cash Only!

the path to bridge has broken away and is now rooty path

great place for a beer and food after 2,5 hours hike!

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

Not sure who put up the questions or who answered them. Builders were working on the Beech Hut in Jan2024

Nice cafe for cake and coffee too.

Great location by the sea lock where the Blackwater Navigation meets the estuary, looking across to Northey Island.

Scenic crossing point on the River Chelmer, after a nice twisting descent from Woodham Walter.

Can be muddy in winter when walking to the further falls

A picturesque lock on the River Chelmer and also the home to a tea room should you need a it stop. This is a round the halfway point on the River Chelmer's 14 miles journey from Chelmsford to the Heybridge Basin where it meets the sea. For more information please see the website www.papermilllock.co.uk

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.

Backed by a caravan park, Mill Beach has stunning views over the estuary and the unique beach huts on stilts. The Osea View Cafe on the beach makes a great waterfront stop on any hike.

A tidal causeway known as The Stumble connects Osea Island with the mainland. Sadly the island isn't open to the public but you can visit by staying in the island's hotel. It was used in the 2012 film 'The Woman in Black' as the 'Nine Lives Causeway'. It is popular with musicians looking for a remote recording venue. Rhianna is said to have recorded an album there in 2019.

Set beyond weeping willows on the banks of the River Chelmer, this gorgeous cottage is a quintessential piece of english countryside.
