Lea Valley Walk

This is a nice long parkland path that forms part of the Green Link walking route across London

We really enjoyed our walk through the Lea Valley walking trail after visiting nearby Springfield Park. There are loads of smaller paths through the scrubby area, surrounded by thick undergrowth and sprawling blackberry bushes. Plenty of good views around, as it gets quite open in some parts. Could get a bit windy on windy days but was fine when we went. There are a few spots where the homeless camp in amongst the scrub, so just be aware that you might be passing by someone's home if you do go off-track a bit, and consider how they might take it. We will definitely be back for another walk.

Only walked the Hackney stretch of this trail. Narrowboats moored along the banks of the river and street art make it very picturesque. Dog-friendliness: not ideal because there are so many cyclists, but we have managed all right.

Beautiful marsh land alongside the canal, great for walking, picnics, cycling and running.

Scenic and peaceful walk which is so easily accessible

Fun trail going all the way from Walthamstow to Stratford. Would recommend going

Pretty sure I died there :(

A bit of a cloudy day when when I went about, if you like boats, you'll see plenty of them moored there, a lot of history about the place. Had a lovely walk 🤗
