Few things beat messing about by the river on a bright, spring day and this delightful walk follows the River Chelmer through the parish of Little Baddow.
THE WALK
1. From the tea room, take the footpath going east along the river bank of the River Chelmer, past the lock and the weir. Go through the gate and up to the next gate by the road. Cross the road and take the footpath opposite. Follow the banks of the river. Continue all the way for over a mile enjoying the wildlife, such as birds, fish, and dragonflies, that adorn the scene. You finally will reach a little white footbridge where you cross the river.
