Summary:
The Centenary Circle is a circular footpath circumnavigating Chelmsford. The route has been broken into five sections starting at the village green in Galleywood, south of Chelmsford. The anti-clockwise route then visits Sandon, Springfield, Broomfield and Writtle before returning to Galleywood. If you wish to break the walk over more than one day, each section starts and finishes near a bus stop which will take you back into Chelmsford town centre. Apart from shops in the villages on route, each stage ends with a pub for refreshments, except for Springfield where Sainsbury's provide food and toilets instead. (Source: Essex Walks)
