Warlies Park Walks & Route Maps

Warlies Park walk, Essex

Set within the attractive grounds of Warlies Park, these walks offer a relaxed mix of open parkland and peaceful woodland.

The shorter route is a gentle, family-friendly loop, dipping into shady trees before climbing a soft central hill for rewarding views, with the option of an extra woodland detour if you’d like to explore a little further.

The longer of the walks ventures deeper into the surrounding countryside, adding more woodland paths, a circuit of Gifford Wood and a handy pub stop along the way.

Whether you’re after a quick stroll or a longer ramble, these walks showcase the varied scenery of Warlies Park beautifully.

Walk information

Warlies Park Walk 1

Walk distance
1¼ miles
Time
30 mins
Route type
Circular

This is a short family-friendly stroll around the pretty Warlies Park.

If you head clockwise you'll follow the hill down into a woodland path before looping back around to then climb up the gentle hill in the centre of the park for some nice views.

We've also added an optional extra detour on the route if you want to add a bit more woodland to your adventure. There is a footpath through the woods to make the detour into the woods a nice loop, but it doesn't appear to be marked on the site map as an official path.

Nice walk but cattle in the main field so not dog friendly. Pub is not on the walk and is a short distance away. Parking could be a problem at busy times

A very pretty walk and good workout.

Walker review

We parked at the horseshoes pub and straight away couldn't find the path which is actually in the corner of the carpark. At times the gps dropped out so we wasn't sure of the route and did deviate at times, yet we still always came back to where we should have been. Very hilly in parts but the views were worth it.
