Romford to Brentwood
A station-to-station walkEssexSouth East England
Some great views of London. A varied, undulating route: grey urban roads out of Romford, then green and pleasant parks, nature reserves, common land and farm fields, with some steeper parts. Mostly good paths but some muddy and boggy sections near the M25 crossing; barriers and stiles exclude wheels. Briefly joins the London Loop near Harold Wood Park. No facilities in the middle section. Crosses from Greater London into Essex.
Lunch: Shops and pubs at either end but no facilities in the middle.
Warnings: The A127 crossing has a central refuge but no lights, so requires care. Some stiles in poor repair before the M25 road bridge and boggy lower-lying paths; the entrance to Tyler's Common from the south-west is unclear.
