Arger Fen & Spouse's Vale Nature Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Lovely walk around Arger Fen. I mostly walked the purple route, but detoured off to go to the reservoir. There are some steep parts and it's very muddy at this time of year, so make sure to bring wellies or walking boots! There was plenty of parking when I went and all the routes are signposted easi...

Hilly Fields
Nature preserve
👍 Quiet, tranquil open space - perfect for fresh air and peaceful walks, dog walks (please clean up after your dog though!), cycle rides or jogging. A few places to sit, but it's more of a keep-moving-through kinda place! As the name suggests - very 'hilly' but some flatter areas too if you struggle o...

👍👍 I love walking along the sea wall from one side of Tollesbury to the other. It takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hrs but the views are great! Love to finish off with a snack in The Loft, one of my absolute favourite cafes. I would highly recommend this for a chilled, relaxing walk
