Walking conditions: 

Footpaths on the walk should all be in good condition. However, some of the green lanes, and in particular Perryfield Lane and those around Norwood End, become extremely wet and muddy during the winter. Fields may also be ploughed up, usually in autumn or spring. There are several stiles to get over around Lampetts.

Crossing the Dunmow Road (B184) can be dangerous as cars travel along this route at great speed.

Country Code: 

As you walk please follow the Country Code. Keep dogs on a lead near livestock and give landowners no cause to regret having footpaths on their land.

Keep safe, wear suitable clothing and footwear, take drinking water with you. If you are unfamiliar with the area, carry an additional map with you, e.g. Ordnance Survey Explorer 183: Chelmsford and the Rodings or contact Marcus Dain for a copy of the Definitive Map – details below.

Car parking can be difficult in Fyfield. Queen Street is an option, or there is parking by the village hall just off the Dunmow Road at Grid Reference TL 5707 0696. The No. 46 bus runs between Ongar High Street and Queen Street in Fyfield three times a day.
