Essex\u00a0is a county in East England. It shares its borders with several other counties, including\u00a0Suffolk and Cambridgeshire to the north,\u00a0Hertfordshire to the west, Greater London\u00a0and the River Thames to the south, and\u00a0the North Sea to the east.<\/p>\n

The east coast of Essex is characterised by deep, winding estuaries, while inland, large rivers \u2013 such as the Stour \u2013 bend slowly through the countryside. There are marshes too, and great woodlands, islands and wildlife-rich nature reserves \u2013 all good reasons to head to Essex for a weekend of walking.<\/p>\n

Here are four walking routes to get you started.<\/p>\n
