Little Sir Hughes

The path goes through Little Sir Hughes front garden, but you can avoid this by going
around this farm building

Continuing along the West Hanningfield Road you come to Baddow Hall Estate.
This is where you turn right if doing the Baddow Hall walk.

Continuing along the West Hanningfield Road you come to a house called "Tweenbends".... the name
referring to the fact that it is on a short stretch on road with a bend at either end. Shortly after this
you peel off to the left across the fields

Crossing the old A130, the Southend Road, St Peter's Way continues a few meters to the left

Slightly uphill towards Hill Farm

There is a lack of signage as you approach the trees; keep to the left of the small lake

Starts to get a bit muddy

You eventually come out on Back Lane, near East Hanningfield. There is a short path from this
point to East hanningfield Sports field, but it was all 9 inches in mud! Although I managed to get
through, an alternative would be to turn left up Back Lane.

Path after Back Lane. It looks OK here but soon turns into a mud bath.
