Past the chapel on East Hanningfiield Road
Down Gingerbread Hill on the old A130
Towards A12 roundabouts
A12
Towards Chelmsford on the A1114. I don't particularly like this stretch of road s the path is
so close to the road and the cars are going so fast.
After Great Baddow Lawn Tennis Club, the road swings to the left ,
over the A1114, into Great Baddow
Entering Great Baddow
Past Pitt Place on the left
Past The Bringey
As far as St Mary's Church
Left by The White Horse into Vicarage Lane
The houses soon peter out and the road goes into the countryside
No 3 Little Seabrights Cottages
The Bridleway peels off from Vicarage Lane on the right, next to Seabrights Cottages.
The Bridleway. The cemetery is on the left
Quite muddy down the Bridleway
The Bridleway comes out on to Brook Lane, just where the houses end
I turned left at the end of The Bridleway towards The Chase
Right along The Chase
Right at the marker post towards Galleywood
Right over the two footbridges towards Galleywood
Left at the marker post towards Jubilee Copse and the A12
Bench at Jubilee Copse for my coffee break. 7.5 km into the walk at this point
Bridge over the A12
After the bridge I usually go straight on towards Bakers Lane; this time I turned immediately left after the bridge and walked parallel to the A12 for half a mile
The path turns 90 degrees right and takes you to the stile on the normal Bakers Lane route
Turn right towards West Hanningfield Road
West Hanningfield Road. There are several routs back home from this point, but due to the
muddy footpaths I decided to walk along the road into Great Baddow.
Peveril Hall
Meadow View
Hillcrest
"Between The Bends"
Little Mascalls
Bridge over A12
Great Mascalls Farm
Approaching Great Baddow
Cutting off to the left through ginnels, I came to Maltings Road. Her I could have taken a ginnel to the right to get to The Bringey, but instead I took the ginnel to the left and came out on Vicarage Road
Back to the church. From here I went into The Vineyards for a coffee before heading home along
the A414 along the route I came. Just after Great Baddow Lawn Tennis Club I turned left
to take the path past the quarries back to Howe Green.
