This walk of 11.7 miles features a county not often covered by walking guides - Essex. Starting out from Great Chesterford, on the Cambridgeshire borders, the walker is soon into the countryside and the large fields associated with the county. It's mainly through these, and a few woods, before arriving at Saffron Walden for lunch, and, in this case, Bridge End Garden.
Thereafter, having viewed the impressive St Mary the Virgin church, there's a pleasant walk through the parkland of Audley End before joining The Harcamlow Way for the journey back to Newport.
An easy walk on grassy paths for the most part, but some annoying road walking as well.
(The water shortage is clearly highlighted today, with most brooks and smaller tributaries bone dry! And it's still Winter...).
