The theme of the Essex Ramblers Association 2020 Festival of Essex Walks is Heritage. The festival will will take place throughout a week in October. I am creating a Harlow Heritage Walk as part of the festival. It will start from Harlow Museum and I am planning a circular walk of approximately 10 miles which includes green spaces and heritage sites. So the question for Civic Society members is “Given it must be circular and be a balance of urban and country walking, what would you include in such a walk?” I would welcome any observations or thoughts .
