Walk Description:

This is a new walk from Stansted car park (where we park normally) across fields and through the woods to the Racton Folly. There is supposed to be a ghost living there.... then if we survive, back through the woods to Stansted.

Lovely Garden Centre on site and Coffee shops etc galore .

Mainly flat with a few inclines.

Lovely Coffe shops, farm shops and an amazing garden Centre too.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
