Overview

The second in a series of six walks. Each begins at a station that is generally served only by one of London Overground's six recently-renamed lines and heads for the edge of the city and the countryside beyond. This time, the Overground itself takes us beyond the M25 and the route starts on the broad valley floor of the River Lee's middle course, before turning to follow its smaller and here more rural tributary, the Stort.

Please bring packed lunch, pub stop at end of walk.

Terrain: Riverbank, fields, lanes.

Travel: Take 10:14 from London Liverpool Street (10:33 Seven Sisters), arr. Theobalds Grove 10:49.

Buy return to Harlow Town.
