River Lee
A river of many roles, the 28-mile Lee Navigation has variously served transport, waste disposal, flood control, mill power and pleasure boating needs.
Today, it's the centrepiece of the Lee Valley Park - a green corridor full of activities for all the family, and the ideal weekend escape for the busy Londoner. With London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympics, the River looks set to become world famous as the thread that links several key venues.
The secluded towpath is popular with cyclists and walkers, providing a relaxing green space hidden from the sprawl of London's suburbs. With excellent signposting and advice available from the Lee Valley Park Information Centre (Tel: 01992 702200), you can enjoy a waterside picnic or simply an unhurried ramble any weekend of the year.
