The Flitch Way is a linear country park passing through fifteen
miles of countryside along the former Bishop’s Stortford to
Braintree railway, you could travel between Braintree and
Bishop’s Stortford in around 45 minutes. The passenger
service was closed in 1952, but steam, and later diesel locos
continued with goods traffic until the line finally closed in
1969.
Open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders, the Flitch Way is flat
and mostly traffic free. This will take you through wildlife-rich
railway cuttings, Victorian stations and bridges, with views across
impressive farmland, nearby villages and woods. There are many
public footpaths exploring the countryside just off the
route.
The Friends group was set up initially in August 2004 to assist the
Flitch Way Rangers with their projects and maintenance in the
Country Park. The Friends aim is to bring together local,
like-minded people with an interest in the outdoors, being active
and with conservation interests who want to improve the parks,
woodlands and wildlife in their community for the benefit of
everyone.
