Overview

An easy paced walk from Drapers Chase car park, Heybridge, through the peaceful Chigborough Fishing Lakes, then on quiet lanes & footpaths via Little Totham Church to St Peter's Church, Great Totham (4.8 miles). The return walk is again on quiet lanes & footpaths (2.2 miles).

Please bring a packed lunch to eat in the Church Hall - mince pies & a hot drink will also be available. After lunch there will be carol singing in the church. Please dress festively for this walk (see image 2 & our FB post for 2023 linked below).

This is a bookable event (£5 to cover drinks, mince pies, a donation to the Church & hall hire) - see email to C&B members (to follow - around 7/11 - bookings will close 6/12)
