The towpath follows the river for the whole 14 miles from its very beginning in Chelmsford all the way to the sea at Heybridge Basin and Maldon. Paper Mill Lock is the halfway point. For those wishing to go beyond the river, there are plenty of footpaths either side of the valley, especially at the nearby Danbury Common and Blakes Wood (National Trust) as well as Danbury Woods. The valley ‘hills’ also make it popular for cyclists as the Ride London passes through Paper Mill Lock. Nearby are the enchanting villages of Danbury and Little Baddow with good restaurants and facilities. Also, you are only a few miles away from the sea at Maldon in one direction or the many attractions of Chelmsford City in the other direction. It is very accessible with the A12 being 10 minutes away, yet you are immediately amongst nature and by the water of the beautiful green Essex countryside. Can comfortably fit up to 2 people
