그레이트 월섬 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

An amazing place, not too much to see, brilliant view from the top, have a guided tour to understand why it was here and what it was like back in the day.

A Grade II-listed building, Langleys was built in the 18th century and remains a privately owned house.

Now offices, Croxton's Mill is a grade II listed building. It was built in 1730 to mill flour but after this ceased in 1934 it lay derelict for 30 years. The mill was converted into a house and then offices in 1990.

South of LIttle Waltham and on the east of the River Chelmer sits LIttle Waltham Meadows Nature Reserve. There are trails down to the river where you might be lucky to see water voles, a variety of dragonflies and kingfishers. In the spring, summer and autumn there may also be cattle grazing on the meadows.

Pretty Essex village centred around the village pond. A lovely spot to stop for a breather or refreshment.

Quaint village, site of a former royal castle, now just the earthworks left (sadly mostly obscured from view and on private property).

Fellow cyclists: Please be very careful here! The ford can be extremely slippery as it’s covered with algae. A number of serious bicycle accidents have unfortunately happened here which could have been avoided. Do not attempt to ride through the ford! Please use the footpath instead which is a little hidden on the side.

Great Waltham is a pretty Essex village with a history that stretches back to Roman times. There is a decent pub, a village shop and some interesting architecture, including the Grade I-listed Church of St Mary and St Lawrence, the Elizabethan guildhall, and a Grade I-listed house called Langley's.
