Walks

Step straight into the countryside.

One of our favourite things about The Black Lion is that the countryside begins right from our doorstep. A public gate from our beer garden leads directly into the surrounding fields, making us the perfect place to start or finish a walk.

Many villagers use the path as part of their daily walks, and we love being part of that. Whether you're heading out for a gentle stroll, exploring the local footpaths or taking the dog for some fresh air, you'll always find a warm welcome waiting when you return.

We're currently creating a collection of downloadable walking routes, all starting and finishing at The Black Lion, so you can discover some of our favourite corners of the Essex countryside before returning for a well-earned drink or bite to eat.

Coming soon:

• The Village Stroll
  A relaxed walk through High Roding, perfect for all ages.
• The Countryside Circular
  A scenic route taking in quiet lanes, open fields and beautiful Essex views.
• The Sunset Walk
  An evening walk designed to finish just in time to enjoy the spectacular sunsets from The Black Lion.

Keep an eye on this page as our walking collection continues to grow.
