Essex Way

One of the first county long distance footpath devised, tracing its history back to 1971.
It was also the first to make an appearance within the county borders of Essex.
The 81 mile trail starts outside the underground station in Epping, passing through Chipping Ongar, Pleshey, White Notley, Coggeshall, Great Horkesley, Dedham and Manningtree to the High Lighthouse in Harwich. It runs through the entire county in a rough south west to north east line.
