BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Series 27, Thundersley, Essex

Clare Balding finds some hidden walking gems around Thundersley, near the Thames Estuary.

Suburban Essex may not be the first place you would think of to find great walking routes, but Clare Balding becomes a convert as she is introduced to the area around Thundersley.

There's a watery theme to this new series of Ramblings, as Clare Balding walks along rivers, lakes and streams. In this first programme we find her exploring part of the Thames estuary in Essex, with local enthusiast, Eileen Peck. Eileen's written a book of local walks around her village of Thundersley trying to encourage locals to enjoy walking in their own area, rather than feeling they have to travel further a field. Producer: Lucy Lunt.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
