Chalk End Spring is a picturesque woodland area located in Essex, England. It is nestled within the larger Chalk End Forest, which covers a vast expanse of rolling hills and ancient trees. The spring itself is a small, natural water source that emerges from the ground, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

The woodland surrounding Chalk End Spring is rich in biodiversity, with a wide variety of flora and fauna calling it home. The forest is predominantly made up of dense deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which provide a beautiful canopy of vibrant green foliage during the summer months. In the spring, the forest floor becomes a carpet of bluebells, creating a stunning display of color.

The area is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. There are several walking trails that wind their way through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore the beauty of the area at their own pace. Birdwatchers will also find plenty to see, as the forest is home to many species of birds, including woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds.

Chalk End Spring offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, providing a place of tranquility and natural beauty. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the forest, a picnic by the spring, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, this woodland area is a true gem in Essex.

Essex Way heading North East to Farmbridge End One of the first county long distance footpath devised, tracing its history back to 1971.
It was also the first to make an appearance within the county borders of Essex.
The 81 mile trail starts outside the underground station in Epping, passing through Chipping Ongar, Pleshey, White Notley, Coggeshall, Great Horkesley, Dedham and Manningtree to the High Lighthouse in Harwich.  It runs through the entire county in a rough south west to north east line.
