Essex Way - Route 12
Distance:9 miles
Advice:At Wrabness you are close to the edge of the estuary. At high tide, the path can be covered. There are some gentle inclines on the route, but nothing strenuous. Some of the paths may be muddy and there will be half a dozen stiles to climb.
In Brief:The walk starts at Manningtree and ends in Little Oakley.
Start:Mistley Place Park Animal Rescue Centre at 9.10am on Friday 12th May. For the Personal Journey Planner call the Essex Traffic Control Centre on 0845 6000110. Or public transport information on 0870 608 2608 or travelwise@essexcc.gov.uk
Points of interest:The rough grass of the seawall at Wrabness is good for insects life in the summer, attracting the Meadow Brown and Essex Skipper butterflies, and Roesel's Bush Cricket.
