Come and join us on a gentle three and a half mile walk which starts by exploring the beautiful Parklands Open Space (originally part of the Gaynes estate in Upminster) with its magnificent lake, 18th Century bridge and splendid trees. An excellent place to showcase both built and natural heritage! We will then look around the Corbets Tey conservation area admiring some of the interesting buildings and learn about their rich history.

The walk will start and finish at the small (free) public car park at the Western End of Parklands, which is accessed from Park Farm Road – postcode RM14 2EU. Alternatively there is likely to be parking available in the side roads off Corbets Tey Road in which case then follow the walking route (below) from the bus stop. If travelling by public transport take the 370 bus (Romford – Hornchurch - Upminster station – Ockendon - Lakeside), alight at Parklands Avenue and walk into Parklands which is opposite the bus stop. Walk along the right hand side of the lake and the car park is at the far end. It is a five to ten minute walk.

The walk is partly on grassy paths and partly on pavements. There are no significant gradients. Please wear suitable clothing, as the footpaths are not always suitable to walk with bare legs. There are no public toilets on this walk but we expect to have the opportunity to divert the short distance to the Crematorium which has toilets and a nice cafe.

Tickets are £4. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Suitable for ages 16 years and over.
