One of the first county long distance footpath devised, tracing its history back to 1971.
It was also the first to make an appearance within the county borders of Essex.
The 81 mile trail starts outside the underground station in Epping, passing through Chipping Ongar, Pleshey, White Notley, Coggeshall, Great Horkesley, Dedham and Manningtree to the High Lighthouse in Harwich. It runs through the entire county in a rough south west to north east line.

A 60 mile long route devised by the West Essex Group of the RA to commemorate Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee. It links three Essex forests, although only eight miles of the Way are through them. The Way visits Hatfield Forest and via White Roding, the Roding valley and Abridge, the Hainault Forest and via Loughton, Epping Forest. The Stort Valley is followed back to the finish.
