Essex Walks
Set among rolling farmland and quiet lanes, the village of Quendon provides the peaceful starting point for these walks.
The routes wander through open countryside and along the edge of Quendon Woods, offering an easy-going escape with wide skies and a real sense of calm.
The shorter option makes for a gentle rural stroll, while the longer of the walks extends the route so you can spend more time exploring the surrounding landscape at an unhurried pace.
There’s also a traditional pub on the route if you fancy refreshments before or after your walk.
Whether you choose the shorter route or the extended version, these walks are a simple and refreshing way to enjoy some peaceful countryside scenery.
