essex / Friends, Welcoming, Scenic

Essex is the most coastal adult walking route, taking in the sights of sea, sand, fields and an ice cream stop! We are an open and inclusive leg, welcoming all ages, believers and backgrounds. We especially celebrate the intergenerational aspect of our group. Our liturgy is shared by members of the Leg, our chaplains and clergy and lay leaders in the communities we walk through and draws on our different Christian traditions and life experiences.
