The Lea Valley Walk is one of the finest and most varied walking routes around the capital, and an excellent way to get out of (and into) London. As it traces the route of the River Lea from its source at Leagrave near Luton to where it meets the Thames in east London the walk undergoes a fascinating metamorphosis from rural pathway to urban trail. So whether you choose to walk for health, views of wildlife and countryside, or to explore heritage attractions, the Lea Valley Walk offers it all.
