Essex Walks, (Pathfinder), Deborah King - The Essex landscape gently
undulates, with the hilliest country in the north and west, near the
Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire borders. On the marshes of Essex, for
example, there is a genuine feeling of solitude that is hard to find
anywhere else in southern England. Colchester, the oldest recorded town in
Britain, is featured in one of the walks, and there are routes through
Epping and Hatfield forests, which contain some of the finest surviving
fragments of England's medieval forests. The Essex-Suffolk border is
Constable Country, and walkers are guided through Dedham Vale, passing
Flatford Mill and Willy Lott's Cottage. Published January 10.

Essex Coast Walk, Peter Caton - When Peter Caton set out to walk the Essex coast he had no idea of the beauty, wildlife and stories that he would find on the way. He takes the reader up and down the many creeks and estuaries of the longest coastline of
any English county, through nature reserves, seaside resorts, unspoilt villages, sailing centres and alongside industry past and present. On the way we read of tales of witchcraft, ghosts, smuggling, bigamy and incest. We learn of the county's varied history - of battles with Vikings, invading Romans bringing elephants, a fort where the only casualty occurred during a cricket match, burning Zeppelins and Jack the Ripper. Whilst a narrative, not a
guidebook, Essex Coast Walk contains a wealth of information book including many little-known facts and stories. With gentle humour to match the coastline's gentle beauty, the book makes for easy reading. Published June 09

Frontier Country - A Walk Around
the Essex Borders, Brian Mooney - Essex is a county of many countries, and
the authors set out on foot to celebrate its people, history, architecture
and geography by walking every inch of its boundaries. Whether tramping up
the Maplin Sands, stumbling across an old soldier living wild in the woods,
or visiting a chapel on a lonely seawall, their story is brimming with
unexpected encounters and colourful surprises. Starting in Waltham Abbey,
the authors' walk takes them down the old Essex border into London, along
the Thames to the marshes, rivers and creeks of the eastern seaboard and
then follows the Suffolk borders to the edges of Cambridge and
Hertfordshire. Back in Waltham Abbey, they complete their 500-mile circuit
by walking the new, post-1964, Essex border through Epping Forest and M25
country to the Thames at Purfleet. Harris, armed with his faithful
sketchpad, casts his beady eye everywhere they go; Mooney, notebook and tape
recorder at hand, quickly develops a sense of humour. Published May
