‘Essex – 40 Favourite Walks’
with Neil D’Arcy Jones
2.30pm Sat 8th June
Wivenhoe Bookshop
Join us with journalist and writer Neil D’Arcy-Jones as we celebrate the release of his Pocket Mountain Guides Essex Walks book.
Neil will be taking a small group out from the bookshop for a mystery mini-walk taking in a part of the Wivenhoe Walk from the book, telling them a little story about the estuary town’s past on the way while discussing his love for walking, Essex and writing.
The walk will be 30-45 mins, after which Neil will be signing copies of the book at the shop.
About the Book
Essex is full of surprises. Not only is it one of the largest counties in England by population and area, it is also home to Britain’s first city, several bustling market towns, hundreds of countryside villages and – with its many estuaries, creeks and islands – more than 900km of winding coastline.
The 40 walks in this guide show Essex in all its glory while giving walkers the chance to appreciate its multiple layers: oil refineries and ports overlooking large stretches of saltmarsh, country estates drifting into industrial estates and pounding motorways flowing beneath dense forests that thrum with wildlife.
About Neil D’Arcy Jones
Neil D’Arcy-Jones is a journalist, playwright, author and theatre producer. Since 2001 he has been the Arts Editor for the Essex County Standard and Colchester Gazette. His first foray into making theatre, rather than critiquing it, was a children’s sequel to The Tempest, which was performed on an island off the coast of Essex in 2014.
Most recently his play In Search of England has had a run at Theatre N16 in London and the Mercury Theatre in Colchester. He also runs the Packing Shed Theatre Company, which puts on new writing by East Anglian playwrights produced by creatives also based in the East.
