Overview

The White Water Centre is a thriving part of the legacy from the London Olympics. The Wildlife Discovery centre is a wonderful building to watch birds from. We will also visit Holyfield Weir and enjoy the boats along the towpath. We will visit some less used areas as well as popular hotspots on this walk.
