The Lee Valley Park is the ideal outdoor family destination – with loads to do and discover in the pleasant green corridor. Children can talk to the animals at Lee Valley Park Farm – and if it rains, there’s always the leisure centre. For a more refined outing, historic country houses are par for the course in Hertfordshire.
