Paycocke's Tudor Coggeshall Walk, Paycocke's House and GardenWalking route4 km

Paths across fields may be muddy after wet weather, so we advise wearing suitable footwear. Take care when crossing roads especially where there's no footpath along The Gravel. Expect a very gradual uphill approach along Grange Hill and East Street.

Grange Barn and Paycocke's House Circular Walk, Grange BarnWalking route4.8 km

Grange Barn is one of Europe's oldest timber-framed buildings. Paths are muddy and boggy after wet weather, so boots may be necessary. Please note that the river bridge is braced by metal bars which you'll need to climb over, so take care when crossing.
