Information Sign 19 - Join the Roach Valley Way

A section of the Roach Valley Way enters the park here.  You can follow it along beside the stream for about 900 metres before it continues out of the park, or you can cross the concrete bridge and leave the park following the route back up the fields. 
Information Leaflet here.

Blatches Farmhouse has stood here since the 16th century and old maps show that the lay of the land, the shape of the surrounding fields, has changed very little.  The 18th century stable with loft over is timber framed and weatherboarded, a classic Essex farm building.
