The Prittle Brook is a short tributary of the River Roach, rising near Thundersley and discharges into the Roach at Rochford.
A pathway enables walkers and cyclists to follow the Brook from Belfairs, past Southend University Hospital to Roots Hall, providing a route from Leigh into Southend which avoids main roads. It would be worth stopping at the old Priory in the Priory Park, or the new Woodlands Centre at Belfairs if you have the time.
Six sculptures by chainsaw artist Ben Loughrill were installed on the Prittle Brook Greenway path between Priory Park, Southend, and Belfairs Park, Leigh, to encourage people to walk or cycle across town and onwards to Daws Heath. You will see some of them on this trail.
This series of 9 Caches links those in Belfairs Woods to those in Priory Park.
Cache is not large enough to contain a pen, so bring your own and tweezers may be required to extract the log.
