Overview

A late winter coastal walk along the promenade from Shoeburyness to Leigh-on-Sea via Southend. There is unlikely to be any mud, so come and join us for a relatively level walk, enjoying  sea air and hopefully sunshine, with the option of a pub lunch. Leigh-on-Sea is a great place to explore whilst enjoying a coffee or ice cream at the end of a walk.

Please bring snacks as there is no official lunch stop until we reach Leigh-on-Sea. I have a booking for 10 people at The Peterboat. 

Please contact Angela if you would like to take one of these places and enjoy lunch or a drink with me at the end of the walk.

There is an option to walk along Southend Pier for those who would like to add extra miles to this walk and/or to end the walk at Southend.
