Walk 1: Little Baddow – the Original Village
This circular walk, mainly on footpaths across farmland, is about 2.5 miles and takes about one hour. Parts may be slippery when wet.
It crosses the original parts of the village, from the Neolithic, Bronze, Iron, Roman and Mediaeval periods. Now often perceived as being on the edge of Little Baddow, this is the original village, as shown by archaeological finds, the possible site of a Roman brickworks, the mill, church, earliest manor house and no less than 9 farms, along with a long-lost public house. The walk invites you to use your imagination to traverse places with few signs of their former significance.
The walk starts and finishes at the History Centre where car parking is available.
