The Essex Way was conceived as a result of a competition organised by the CPRE in 1972. The Essex Way is a waymarked long-distance footpath 81 miles (130 km) long, along footpaths and roads in Essex. The trail starts in Epping in the southwest, crosses Dedham Vale and Constable country to finish at the port of Harwich on the Stour estuary. The route is waymarked by Essex Way plaques and direction arrows. The original CPRE signs were dark green, but most of these have now been replaced with Essex County Council plaques depicting two poppies on a white background.
