Explore Chelmsford

If you're bored of your usual cycle or walking routes, or want to get more active outside, but aren’t sure where to start, you can try our family friendly routes.

There are short, medium and long route options, so you can choose one to suit you. The ‘I Spy’ challenges keep you on your toes, answer them all correctly and enter in a prize draw!

Each self-guided route takes you through some of Chelmsford’s and South Woodham Ferrers' prettiest scenery. They avoid large roads with safety in mind, so are perfect for building confidence. The maps also highlight interesting places to visit along the way, spots to take a pit stop, and the best backdrops for a family selfie. Some of them even have ping-pong tables en-route, so you can mix it up with a different form of exercise!
