# Wide-Open Horizons: Allhallows-on-Sea Estuary Walk

Join us on Sunday 19th October 2025 for a wide-open, sea-breezy hike along the edge of the Thames Estuary. This 13 km circular route from Allhallows-on-Sea takes in remote coastline, marshland trails, and expansive views that stretch all the way to the river horizon.
The walk showcases the wild beauty of the Hoo Peninsula, where tidal landscapes shift with the light and migrating birds fill the skies. Walking here feels like stepping into another world — salt marshes, grazing fields, and endless skies create an atmosphere of space and solitude, broken only by the call of curlew or the sight of ships gliding silently along the Thames.
Allhallows itself has an intriguing history. In the 1930s, grand plans were drawn up to turn it into a seaside resort to rival Blackpool, complete with amusement parks, a zoo, and luxury hotels. While that dream never materialised, today the area offers a curious mix of seaside heritage and unspoilt estuary wilderness.
This is a great choice for those who love big skies, salt air, and fewer crowds. The path is almost entirely flat, perfect for a relaxed social pace with time to walk, chat, and soak up the estuary views.
✨ We’re also excited to share that Max Cornall will be leading his very first walk with us — come along and give him a warm welcome!
