It's an open secret that Stapleford Abbotts has some of the most beautiful countryside you'll ever see - and it has a network of well-attended footpaths for visitors of all abilities to access. Now you can look up the footpaths beforehand and even as you are out and about:  there is an interactive map on ECC highways website, under public rights of way. Once on the site, you can select an area and focus in on it, and you can actually follow the paths as you walk.
