Billericay to Basildon
A station-to-station walkEssexSouth East England
A safe, improved route avoiding the original's dangerous ring-road section by going through the pedestrianised town centre, using Mill Meadows local nature reserve and a quiet no-through residential road to avoid the busy A176. The nature-reserve paths are hand-drawn rather than snapped to the map and so the line is only a rough match. Goes through Mill Meadows local nature reserve, using its waymarked trails. Several places to stop and multiple bus routes nearby.
Lunch: A Tesco Express and two pubs in Great Burstead near the central section, and eateries in a shopping park on Barleyfield Road a little off route.
Warnings: The line through Mill Meadows is only roughly drawn and may be difficult to follow on the ground.
