This walk honours composer Gustav Holst, who lived in and around Thaxted for many years and, with his friend Ralph Vaughan Williams, noted down many of the then-disappearing folk songs of Essex. We go out by Tilty and the Chelmer Valley, with a probable diversion to Monk Street where Holst wrote The Planets. In Thaxted we'll see the house he moved to after Monk Street and the magnificent parish church, first home of the music festival he founded that still continues. We return by Widdington & Henham.
Notes: This is a joint walk with the Essex and Herts group jointly led with Peter Aylmer. Thaxted is roughly halfway and has many food / drink options and a shop.
Start and finish: TL533270: what three words: steadily.slides.motoring
