Another one that was much more difficult than it should have been. I tried it earlier in the day but got thwarted by road works. Returned at tea time to find the Fairways road closed due to gas main repair. Parked up and walked the last 600 meters to end up standing on a mound of earth looking into someone's back garden. Must have looked very suspicious. | Father Ted | 02/09/2016 |
Roadworks on The Fairway made for a longer than usual drive around but left a short amble to bag this top and had a look in the woods for good measure. | Dugswell2 | 01/09/2016 |

Lovely woods nearby the parking spot which was all of 2 metres from the boundary!! Much better than the other Southend 'top'. | signyred | 22/07/2011 |
Leigh-on-Sea to Hockley stations. Woodland sections pleasant enough but A13 crossing very tricky. | Smudge | 16/01/2011 |
