From Berkhamsted's Norman castle to the smoked cockles of Leigh-on-Sea, this 12-day circuit crosses two often-overlooked counties north of London. It follows a thread: Hertfordshire's medieval and Tudor history, then Essex's wild coast with its Tudor villages, Mersea oysters, and Maldon's red-sailed barges.
