Flitch Way Country Park

The Essex County Council describes the route best! "The Flitch Way passes through 15 miles of countryside along the former Bishop’s Stortford to Braintree railway in the heart of rural Essex. Your journey on foot, bicycle or horseback will take you though wildlife-rich railway cuttings, past Victorian Stations, over embankments with views across impressive farmlands, nearby villages and woodland."
