2. Stanstead Innings to Rye Road (1 mile)
3. Meadgate Road, Nazeing to Highbridge Street, Waltham Abbey (6½ miles)
4. Highbridge Street to North Circular Road (6 miles)
5. Tottenham Marshes to Olympic Park (6 miles)
Lea Valley Walk
The Lea Valley Walk is one of the jewels in the Regional Park's crown. 25 (40kms) of the 50 (80kms) mile route, which stretches from the source of the Lea at Luton to the Thames at Bow, are within the Regional Park. By following the swan symbol, which marks the route, you willdiscover the vistas of a bygone age and have the opportunity to breathe the fresh air of this rural idyll which the Regional Park has become.
The sections of the walk that fall within the Regional Park boundaries are mainly managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and British Waterways, other sections are managed by the local authorities for that area.
The Lea Valley Walk book is available to buy through our
Information Service and provides full details and information about the entire walk.
