Details for the Sunday 7 December walk:
- An enjoyable walk with the added benefit of visiting Battlesbridge Antique Centre, with lots of things to see and lots of places to eat. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and a cake of course. With over 80 dealers housed in a variety of old buildings and courtyards, the centre is open 7 days a week from 10am - 5pm. The area is picturesque and the bridge in the middle of the area is a good place to look over the tidal River Crouch. It takes its name from the Battaille family; it was mentioned in a 1351 document as the settlement of Bataillesbregge. This confirms that there was a bridge as far back as the 14th Century, although the present-day iron structure is much later, dating back to 1872. It was the second iron bridge, the first was struck and damaged by a passing steam traction engine. A great place to travel to by train especially as the car parks get full rather quickly and by midday it is hard to park.
- Enjoy the stress free visit and a nice walk, a wander around the centre and a cup of tea/coffee.
- Everyone is welcome : carers, cared for, friends, family.
- Please email jenny.goodson@carersfirst.org.uk to book.
