Walking along the River Stort

Take a walk along the towpath of the River Stort

The towpaths of the River Lee and Stort provide continuous, traffic free route through rural countryside, rich industrial and urban green space. There are many circular walks linking the towpath and surrounding countryside, often with distinctive waymarkers.

The 28-mile circular Stort Valley Way follows part of the towpath, heading on through Sawbridgeworth, Harlow, Matching and finally Epping Green.
