| This walk is a variation on the route of the Hanningfield Reservoir 19.6 km route. At the end of Mill Lane where the road meets the Downham Road there are two alternatives. First up, is to turn right and go as far as the Nags Head pub, then crossing a style to take the route via fields joining Park Lane in Ramsden Heath. If, however, there has been a lot of rain and the fields are muddy, an alternative is to turn left and go a few hundred yards along Downham Road to where Park Lane joins it. Turning right here takes you along a pavement, past houses, until you come to the same point as the field route in Ramsden Heath. |
Turning right off Downham Road along Park Lane to Ramsden Heath
| The next variation to the 19.6 km route comes when you reach De Beauvoir Lodge and De Beauvoir House. To the left of De Beauvoir House is a five-bar gate with a stile tucked away to the left. This is the start of the route to Downham Village |
