We are the Tendring District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a new route! We make our way North from the car park soon to turn East curving round to go South on a delightful path towards the church. After this we turn West and head along the path to and around the Alton Water reservoir. We turn inland going past Birchwood House and on through the edge of a wooded area named Hales Grove before coming out and turning East to cross farmland back towards the village.
The walk may be busier than when the recce was carried out and the weather may be different, so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. If we are lucky for it to be dry and warm, please carry water to drink. If it has recently rained there may be muddy and slippery sections of the footpaths whilst if the weather has been dry, there could be cracks in the surface soil so please be careful and watch your step. There is always the risk of animal excrement on the paths so please be careful where you are placing your feet. Sometimes the paths may have fox or badger holes in the surface which makes it risky so please be aware of this and once again watch your step. There can also be tree roots or brambles growing across the path which are not uncommon and are a particular trip hazard. Please do not forget that your mobile phone may not have a signal whilst we are out walking so you may not be in contact with anyone other than the
Holbrook Community Car Park just past The Village Hall heading North.
