Sat 12 JUL 2025 - WRABNESS TO MANNINGTREE VIA GRAYSON PERRY'S A HOUSE FOR ESSEX - Dick D

From Wrabness we pass Grayson Perry's A House for Essex and descend to the shoreline of the river Stour. We follow this west past Wrabness Nature Reserve before turning inland to Bradfield where we stop for lunch. We then continue along the Essex Way through fields to Mistley before descending to the town centre of the small port. We follow parkland along the shoreline to Manningtree's waterfront and town centre, then move back inland through Lawford to Lawford Park and then descend to Manningtree station.
