Walk Wild-Essex Hack 3.0

Screenshots

Description

A guide to 50 wildlife walks in Essex and East London. This app shows you the route on satellite maps and, as you go round, you can pull up directions for the section you are on. You can also turn on your location, so you can see if you stray off the route. The walks have been chosen as some of the best in the area to see wildlife, and you can pull up notes on what to look out for on each section and details of nature reserves, country parks and the like that the walks pass through or near. The location of pubs, picnic sites and other facilities is shown on the maps as well.

To help you choose, each walk is characterised in terms of length, the going, highlights and drawbacks, best time of year and how to get there – many can be reached by public transport as well as by car.

Use this app to get the most out of the Essex countryside and its wildlife, and get fit and healthy at the same time.
