On 18th October 2011 I set off in the car with no specific destination in mind for a walk, after driving through Epping I saw signs for
Roydon. Remembering I wanted to take a look one day My dog Ben and I made our there.
Upon arriving I parked up in
Roydon Marina Village and walked along the Stort Navigation.
We walked as far as we could until we came to a dead end, so we walked back to the car and I drove back into the village a little and parked up and walked back towards the River
Stort Navigation.

| Roydon Signpost... The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as Ruindune and appears later as Reidona in c. 1130, as Reindon in 1204, and as Roindon in 1208. |

| The Church House Circa 1475 next to St Peters Church. |
 |
| The church, St Peters, dates from the Middle Ages. |

A little further along Something caught my eye...I thought is that a Turkey?? Yes it was then I noticed the sign....
 |
| Its a Turkey Farm Lol |
 |
| They all came running over all looking excited....they obviously don't know its only 68 days to Christmas | !! |
|
We reached the Stort Navigation again....

We was now heading back along the navigation back to where we started. Below is a narrowboat going through a lock.

Then we were back where we started back at the road, where we walked back to the car.
We then drove home after a very nice walk....
