The Lee Valley is a walker’s paradise blending the peace and tranquility of 10,000 acres of regional parkland with excellent facilities and transport links.

The combination of open space and abundant wildlife makes it hard to believe it’s only 17 miles from central London. Starting on the River Lee Navigation and walking through marshland, along the banks of Horsemill Stream and finishing in the town centre, this walk combines rural magic and historical charm in equal measure.
