Morning Mist in Mardyke Valley
Technically the path behind the fence on the right is a permissive link for horse traffic. It follows the water meadows of the Mardyke River valley through the country park from Stifford Bridge to Ship Lane Aveley, it is not marked as a public right of way on OS Maps. Clearly walkers vote with their feet and stay to the left of the fence. The photograph was taken at the edge of Brannets Wood (the second oldest woodland in Essex) http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandEssexNoForestThamesChaseCommunityForestMardykeWoods looking towards the A13/M25 interchange.
