k e Lane d e ara outh Parad P rine Ma This walk offers a gentle family friendly promenade along the sea front with options for returning via train to Southend Central Station when you have walked 2.5 miles to Chalkwell Station or the 4 miles to Leigh-on-Sea Station. From Southend Central Station it is then a short walk back to Southend Victoria Station. The route from Southend Victoria Station takes you down the high street to the sea front. As you arrive at the top of Pier Hill you see the town’s famous pier stretch off into the distance with the arcades and beach below you. Once down at sea level, follow the wide paved esplanade west and enjoy the original Victorian past time of seaside attractions and people watching as you stroll along. Here you can choose to return via train from Chalkwell Station or the walk continues between the station buildings and the edge of the beach. At this point the landscape changes, the path being sandwiched between the railway track and the coast line, it feeling more akin to walking along a river estuary than being part of a coastal resort. As you walk towards Old Leigh you will pass the Essex Yacht Club head quarters, the converted Mine Hunter HMS Wilton. On reaching the historic fishing town of Old Leigh enjoy this quaint seaside gem. There are seafood stalls and ice creams a plenty here. As you continue through the village you pass the fisherman huts on the way to Leigh-on-Sea Station. At this point you can return home or for those with energy to spare the route can be extended to Two Tree Island Essex Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. The island has approximately 3.5 miles of trails which are a mixture of gravel and grass paths. Please keep to the tracks to avoid disturbing the ground nesting birds and other habitats.

Planning Your Walk

• 2.5 miles to Chalkwell Station or 4 miles to Leigh-on-Sea Station. • There are many opportunities for refreshments whilst on the main esplanades at Southend all the way through to Chalkwell.
