Hi George,

The E2 in the UK is not signposted, or at least not as the E2. Instead it follows a series of National and Regional Trails which are signed and waymarked. From Harwich the E2 follows the Essex Way, the Stour Valley Path, Icknield Way, Fleam Dyke and Roman Road Walk, Fen Rivers Way and Hereward Way which will take you to Peterborough. There are some linking sections e.g. from the Harwich Ferry to the Essex Way and through Cambridge that are marked on the relevant OS Map as the E2. Best download the GPX file from the LDWA website ( https://ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=E-Route+2+UK+Section+-+Middleton+in+Teesdale+to+Harwich ) and use in your GPS or Hiking App, or else buy the OS maps indicated on the relevant LDWA page.
I recently walked the E2 across Britain, more info on my blog johnponE2.blogspot.com .

Hello,

Starting from the end of May, we will walk part of the E2, starting at Harwich and ending in Petersborough. The second part of our journey will follow the Richard III trail, ending in Leicester. After the Richard III trail we will find our own way to the abbey of Mount Saint Bernard. This is part of our Tour des Trappistes, a walking tour which connects all the brewing trappist monasteries in Europe. So far, all the Belgian, Dutch and Austrian trappist abbeys have been visited.

My question is about the E2. Can anyone inform us about the way this path is signposted?
