Uttlesford boasts a wide variety of walks to suit all tastes and abilities and as the landscape is still primarily rural, there is a well-developed network of cross country footpaths. Try anything from a stroll around historic Clavering and Arkesden, to a saunter along the banks of the River Chelmer or even the 'Horseshoes Hike', a walk taking in Duton Hill, Great Easton and many of the villages affected by the proposed expansion at Stansted Airport.

The Tourist Information Centre in Saffron Walden has a large selection of books and leaflets offering details of walks in the area and are happy to advise on suggested routes.
