• Hilly in places, and public footpaths can be muddy if the weather has been wet.

• All paths are also cyclist routes. The initial part of the route is on the road so be aware
of vehicles.

• The footpath is narrow in places and you need warm clothes because there can be
cold winds from the river.

Food is available at The Pointer pub. There are also pubs and cafes in Wivenhoe.
