Then its off to the famous yachting town of BurnhamOnCrouch with some views across the River Crouch to the South. Head out to the quant little village of Tillingham in the Dengie Hundred for some real open countryside. Not an official control but at almost half way the time may be right for a lunch stop in Maldon it abounds with cafes and pubs.
