About

With Maldon’s resident historian Stephen Nunn as your guide, discover some of the fascinating stories and secrets of the town’s maritime past on this linear walk which starts at Fullbridge and ends at Hythe Quay. As it is also Heritage Open Day there’ll be opportunities after the walk to explore historic vessels on the Hythe . Walk Highlight: See the Thames sailing barges up close. This is a leisurely walk of around two miles.

The Saltmarsh Coast Walking Festival is a 10-day festival, designed to help visitors and locals enjoy the Maldon District's rich tapestry of history and heritage along its 75 miles of coastline. The event will provide led and self-guided walks to suit everyone, from family-friendly short strolls to longer walks for walking enthusiasts. Walks will start from a number of "hives" around the district, including Maldon, Heybridge Basin, Tollesbury, Goldhanger, Burnham-on-Crouch, Bradwell-on-Sea and North Fambridge. Plus, in the evenings there will be a programme of talks and entertainment.
