Overview

There is a limit of 15 people for this walk and booking is essential.  Please book after 21 May, using the email link. 

Cafe Benor is 5 minutes from Lea Bridge Railway Station and bus stops are closer.  The cafe takes cash only and it has a toilet.

After coffee we have an optional walk, starting at 11.00.  We go past Lea Valley Riding Centre and around the marshes.  For a shorter walk, it's possible to drop out and return past the riding centre, back to the station and buses (1¾ miles).  We cross the river and pass toilets in Springfield Park, at the top of the hill.  It's also possible to drop out here and walk a short distance for 253 and 254 buses to Overground and Tube stations. (2 miles).  We continue back alongside the marshes and go through Walthamstow Wetlands, where there are toilets and a possibility of tea at the visitor centre.  The walk finishes at Tottenham Hale Station.
