Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
Along the north bank of the estuary, points of interest include Tilbury Fort, Coalhouse Fort, Tilbury Marshes, West Tilbury Church and the site of QE1’s speech to the English fleet, WWII radar station and bunkers, Thurrock Thameside Nature Park, Mucking Flats SSSI (part of Thames Estuary & Marshes SPA), Mucking Church. Lunch stop at Coalhouse Fort where there are picnic tables and a cafe, and a chance for a cup of tea at Thurrock visitor centre towards the end of the walk.
Please note that the published finishing time is an estimate only and depends on the weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of stops made.
