Danbury Circular Walk Maps
These walks are based upon walks created by Wendy and David Moore for the Danbury Society and updated by Graham Chapman on behalf of Danbury Parish Council.
There are six walks in total:
- Thrift Wood
- Blake’s Wood
- Butt’s Green
- Pheasant House Wood
- Sandon Hall
- Waterhall Meadow
The information on each route includes a detailed map and directions to enable you to enjoy your walk. All walks are described as starting and ending at the Danbury Leisure Centre; some will extend into the adjacent parishes of Little Baddow and Sandon. The walks will follow where possible Public Rights of Way so look out for waymarker arrows that are attached to fingerposts, stiles, gates and posts.
Remember that the countryside is a workplace so please keep to paths and use stiles and gates when crossing fields. Keep dogs on leads where animals may be gazing and take care when walking along or crossing roads.
Public Transport to the area is available via local buses: see online timetables or phone 03456020121
