WALK REPORT This was the second trial of my Tiptree cream tea walk. Still needs work to improve the route. Parts of Kelvedon are pretty, but the section from there to Tiptree lacks interest. Also, it’s a real shame that the old church at Inworth is kept locked – most of the country churches I pass on my other walks are open to the public, but not this one. Thanks to Anne and Cristina for help with trailblazing.

An Autumn Day in Essex
WALK REPORT Here are some photos from my test walk to Tiptree and Maldon yesterday. This time I went alone, and it was just as well, as I spent a lot of the day lying on the ground in attempts to get good photos of berries and mushrooms! 24 pics in this set scroll down to see the full-size images.
Tiptree/Maldon walk
I’m doing a test run of a walk to Tiptree and Maldon in Essex this weekend. All readers invited!
The route runs from the market town of Maldon on the Blackwater Estuary up into the farmlands of East Anglia, finishing at the Roman settlement of Canonium (now called Kelvedon). We’ll be stopping for lunch on the way at a pub called The Swan in Little Totham village, and later, cream teas in Tiptree, a town famous for its jam. Estimated total cost for this walk, including train fare and lunch, is about £25.
UPDATE at 0749 on Saturday 29 September:
Originally, I was going to do this walk today, but the weather’s not looking so hot for photos, so I’m postponing it until tomorrow.
New meeting time will be 8am on Sunday morning (Sept 30th) at the main ticket counter, Liverpool Street station.
If you’d like to come, please let me know, either by email or by phone:
