The River Blackwater flows from Bocking to the North Sea at Mersea Island. There are walking trails along its length but no actual cycle path. This point offers a good view of the river and of the Blackwater Valley through Blackwater.

St Andrew's Church is an Anglican parish church in the centre of Farnham, Surrey. It is a Grade I listed building and surviving parts of the structure date back to the Middle Ages. It is in the archdeaconry of Surrey, in the Diocese of Guildford. The churchyard contains the grave of William Cobbett and there is a memorial to Augustus Toplady. In 2005–06, a conservation and development project uncovered the foundations of a 7th-century Saxon church. No written record of this church survives. [...] The oldest parts of the building date from the middle to the late 12th century, between 1150 and 1170. It was also around that time that the Archdeaconry of Surrey was created, and the new archdeacon used Farnham, and its castle, as a centre from which to visit the rest of Surrey. Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew%27s_Church,_Farnham Outside the church entrance is the grave of the political reformer William Cobbett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cobbett). He was born, baptised and grew up in Farnham.

This track through Hawley Meadows has a good surface but is away from the river. Strangely, about 50 yards are unsurfaced as you rejoin the riverside track by the bridge.
