Five miles of Walden Countryside

Fourteen members of our Wild Child group walked from Scotch Patch orchard to our Noakes Grove Nature Reserve along paths most of which are designated as Local Wildlife Sites (LoWS).

This is a really good country walk - five miles through some of the nicest countryside.

• Start at Noakes Grove
• Sewards End Water Tower
• Byway to Frogs Green
• Frogs Green byway to Cole End Farm
• Wimbish Lanes Local Wildlife Site: Adcocks Lane and Wimbish Chase
• Mill Road - cross road
• Footpath to Bush Croft (Local Wildlife Site - woodland)
• Footpath to Ellis Green Common and Scotch Patch. Scotch Patch is part of the Ellis Green Common - the main part is managed by the Wimbish Parish Council.

One way footpath walks have one problem - how do you get back to your car? Either a friend rescues you by car or you use a bus. Buses 320/321 run to Sewards End village hall from Saffron Walden or Radwinter / Hempsted. Buses 313/314 run to the Wimbish Ellis Green turn off from Saffron Walden or Thaxted.

This map show the Ellis Green Local Wildlife site in Wimbish. At the south end is our Scotch Patch orchard and all the rest is common land managed by the parish council. Recently we have been able to pasture some of our sheep on the common. There are over 140 Local Wildlife Sites in the parishes which make up the Walden Countryside.If you would like to know which are close to your home click your parish,
