A town where the River Crouch is still a stream. The best of it is green, with the Memorial Park and the river path, and a beautiful medieval church on the edge of town.
Wickford Memorial Park
A large park with a circular path, gardens and play areas. The River Crouch runs along its western and northern edges.
Open at all times.
River Crouch path
From the Memorial Park, follow the footpath beside the young River Crouch. An easy loop of about 6 km takes in the park and the river and brings you back to town.
Open at all times.
St Mary's Church, Runwell
A Grade I listed church of 13th-century origin with two rare timber-framed porches from the 1400s, a largely medieval nave roof and fragments of medieval stained glass.
