RV and tent pitches behind pub. Agree about the shower block, new and well-looked after. Also four double rooms available at Β£75 a night. Pub open every day from noon. Kitchen open for lunch and dinner every day except Monday. Great base for exploring the area.

The parish church in the village of Steeple doesn't have a tower, it has...you guessed it...a steeple.

If you need refreshment at this point turn left out of the gate. After a couple of hundred yds on the right after the railway arch is the Parlour Cafe

good way to complete a circuit across the River Crouch - a little expensive but something a bit different. Β£5 per adult and Β£2 per bicycle. Chap who runs it is lovely. You ring his mobile and he comes to get you. You get the ferry from the Harbourmaster's office. See Burnham ferry website for details
