This delightful circular walk highlights one of Essex’s secret corners. You will pass the 12th-century remains of Tilty Abbey, once a thriving community with its own vineyard, and follow a path used for centuries to Tilty church. Other highlights include 12th-century Little Easton church and its unusual Louvain Crusader tomb and the NormanĀ motte on private land to the right of the church. Here too is Easton Lodge, once home to Edward VII’s mistress, and its gardens, which are open from Easter until October.
