  • Description

    Worth noting is the Olympic -related building and volunteer conservation work. They have both transformed the face of the marshes in recent years.

    The river Lea still runs in its natural banks, both a little known natural treasure and the focus of community concern about sewage pollution.

    This walk is wheelchair friendly.
