St Peter's Way
Follows a 66km pilgrimage trail from Chipping Ongar to Bradwell-on-Sea's ancient chapel, crossing gently rolling Essex farmland and finishing with flat coastal marshes. Mostly level terrain with good paths, though some sections can be muddy after rain. Best tackled in stages rather than one go – not ideal for buggies due to length and stiles, but suitable for older children on shorter sections. Dogs welcome throughout. Offers peaceful countryside, rich Saxon history, and rewarding estuary views
