A Circular Orsett Walk
Community: NHS and Care Workers
21st June 2022
Starts/Ends: Orsett C of E Primary School, School Lane
Booking for this walk is now closed but you can follow the route on your own.
A day of history, walking and fun! This historical walking tour explored places of interest in this beautiful town including the village lock-up and Orsett Hospital.
We made links to key workers in the village and the NHS as we gave thanks to the community of Thurrock.
In partnership with Orsett Stores.

T100 walks are of different lengths and on different terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven. If this walk doesn’t suit you, there is probably another one that will.
Please note: You need to choose walks within your capabilities and ensure that you are sufficiently fit for the grade of walk you have chosen. Due care has been exercised in organising the walks, however, Kinetika, the funders and associated partners of the project cannot accept liability for loss, accident or injury caused to any person following the routes, especially unsupervised.

WHAT TO TAKE
Please ensure that you are properly equipped for all walks. The weather can be unpredictable so bring waterproof clothing and/or sun hats and sun cream – it’s best to be prepared for everything!
Walking boots/shoes are recommended, but otherwise please wear suitable and comfortable footwear- best to leave open-toe sandals or high heels at home.
Make sure you bring a packed lunch with you if necessary, and plenty to drink.
Toilet facilities can be accessed at our refreshment stop.
We encourage you to bring face coverings with you. You will not have to wear face coverings for the duration of the walk but you may wish to wear them if you enter indoor spaces on the route, although this is optional.
