The Essex Ways
Man About Country, James, is undertaking an epic 400km walking journey through the many ways of Essex. On his way he will explore legendary locations and hidden nooks and crannies, while collecting as many stories as he can.
A series of 14 story walk performances are taking place throughout June and July. On these walks, you’ll explore the local landscape, brought to life with local stories told by James. There’ll be history, folklore and legends, from ancient times to the modern day. You’ll see just how much Essex has changed, and how it’s stayed the same; and how solutions to the challenges Essex faces today can be found in the stories of its past.
‘I believe that Essex is one of the most fascinating counties in England. You only need to scratch the surface to find amazing stories, from ancient times to the modern day; many of which show that Essex hasn’t changed as much as we might think. I believe that the more of these stories we discover and put together, the closer we get to the true soul of Essex: the myths at the heart of this great county.’
