We meet at Mistley Towers and go South on a section of the Essex Way to Furze Hill where we briefly stop to admire Old Knobbly, a very old oak tree. We skirt around Gamekeepers Pond heading SW where we will stop at an amazing chestnut tree. We then head NW up past Dairy House owned by the boss of Rose Builders. Continuing into the edge of Manningtree making our way back to Mistley.
The walk is hilly in places.
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
Please park anywhere along the walls and make your way easterly to meet at Mistley Towers.
