Description

Details

The Lea Valley is a wide floodplain which has long been both an important transport corridor and a natural boundary (e.g. between the Saxons and the Danes in the Dark Ages). Its rivers provided water and power for many mills and factories, but nowadays, the journey out of London offers an unbroken line of light industrial estates, warehouses and retail parks. However, on the Hertfordshire/Essex border just before Cheshunt, the view abruptly changes to the tree-lined lakes of the River Lee Country Park. This wetland landscape offers opportunities for bird-watching and viewing orchids in late May and June. A series of sculptures are dotted around the park, many of which can be seen from the walking route.

We will end the route at an English pub, where we can enjoy a drink together and reflect on our adventure.
