Country walks
Here’s what our guests say about the country walks in and around Piglets…
Wimbish boasts more public footpaths than any other parish in Essex…..so you are spoilt for choice.
Just across the little road that runs past us is the first of many delightful walks, taking one past ‘paradise’ as we like to call the tree on the horizon as once reached you feel you have left the hustle and bustle far behind and ahead lies open fields, woodlands and large open skies.

Spring flower walks
Summer fields
Winter air
If you are coming here in the spring you will find bluebell wood just across the field where the forest floor is ablaze with these beautiful blue flowers.
At the height of summer, channel your inner Gladiator and let your fingers flow through the wheat (but keep an eye out for the farmer!)
Winter is often the best time to walk as you get to see the deer, hares and birds of prey more easily. What can be better than a bracing walk followed by hot chocolate or something stronger in our relaxing guest lounge on your return.
Autumn leaves
But let’s not forget autumn when a canopy of golden brown leaves coat everywhere and where bracing country walks are just what one needs after a pie and a pint in a country pub.
In our Boot Room you will find maps and walking guides to some of our favourite walks, many including a pub or two!
