The Lea Valley Walk is Leigh Hatts’ Cicerone walking guide to one of the most varied routes near the capital. Walkers can expect spotting stately homes, the river curtained by willows, a varied mix of quiet countryside & the bustle of London, but all surrounded by green, wildlife & the easy babble of the river. The guide traces the route of the river Lea from its source at Leagrave near Luton, passing through Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire & into Greater London by the Olympic Park where it meets the Thames in east London, as it undergoes a stark change from rural pathway to urban trail. Hatts highlights both the views of wildlife & countryside, as well as the notable heritage attractions, like Brocket Hall, en route as part of the Lea Valley’s main highlights. The guide organizes the 50 mile route into 9 stages, including an alternative finish & tour of the Olympic Park. Each stage has a brief description of the general route & detailed directions are accompanied by Ordnance Survey extracts mapping, as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the Lea Valley. Additional information boxes provide details on Access & Facilities, refreshments, accommodation & recommended maps. The Lea Valley Walk is well maintained & mostly flat, making it ideal for walkers of all abilities. Most of the route is also suitable for cyclists. ...
