Join us for a walk through ‘Baker Country’ visiting sites listed in J.A. Baker’s diaries and identified in his seminal work The Peregrine (1967). Starting in Little Baddow, this approx. 7 km/ 4.5 mile walk will guide you along country lanes and – possibly muddy – fields taking in the Essex landscapes that Baker describes as being ‘as profuse and glorious as Africa’.
Please wear comfortable footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather.
Led by David Simmonds, organised by Chelmsford Museum as part of the exhibition Restless Brilliance: The story of J.A. Baker and The Peregrine, on until 3 November 2024.
