This walk lets you enjoy a long, leisurely stroll down the idyllic Roman River Valley, a forgotten little backwater of East Anglia that's steeped in ancient history. The route meanders through gentle countryside and takes in four small Essex villages, each one featuring its own uniquely characterful pub.
You'll also visit historic Roman Colchester and see Abberton Reservoir, one of the best sites in Europe for birdwatching. Finally, there's time at the end of the walk to relax and enjoy the sea air on the terrace at The Anchor, a wonderful pub on the waterfront in Rowhedge village.
This walk starts in London. We meet at 9:00am in the main ticket office at Liverpool Street rail station and return here later the same evening. Pre-booking required.
