  Step 1: This Follies Walk will cover around 2.5 miles. It includes parts of the ancient path connecting The Old City to the Parish Church & town.

• Step 2: Mersea does not have its own train station. The closest train stations are Wivenhoe & the Colchester train stations. From a Colchester you can catch a bus to Mersea.

  Step 3: The walk begins here at the coastal car park. If you’ve driven don’t forget to pay for parking before you set off for your jaunt.
