Walk 5 of T100 Welcome to the Kitchen Table

After setting off from Chadwell St Mary Community Hub, the walk leaves the village and heads east along Linford Road. At the roundabout join Sandy lane and walk down hill to Footpath 73 at the bottom of the hill, and proceed east to Footpath 72 which passes through fields with horses and beautiful views of river Thames, Port of Tilbury and north Kent.

Continue east along Rectory Road to West Tilbury green, then along Church Road, Low Street and Station Road before joining FP 200 which travels across woodlands and farms to St Catherine’s Church in East Tilbury village. If they are open you can have a look inside the Church, or visit Coalhouse Fort. A great way to end the walk is with the legendary fish and chips from George’s fish bar in East Tilbury.
