Overview

Walk will take in Abney Park, then Millfields Park, Walthamstow Marshes, River Lea towpath and a tour of the Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve, with the walk ending at Tottenham Hale.

The pace of this walk will be moderate to brisk.

As well as a new generation of waterfowl we should hopefully see summer visiting birds.  There are steps up the tallest reservoir, it may also be muddy in the marsh.

Toilets are not available until an hour into the walk, so please use station facilities at Liverpool St. if travelling from there.

Sorry, dogs are not allowed in the Wetlands.

Lunch: At the Engine House in the Wetlands that provides a café, toilets and a picnic area.

Train: To Stoke Newington (Zone 2); from Liverpool St 10:15 arr 10:28 (Cheshunt or Enfield Town Overground Train). Return from Tottenham Hale (Zone 3) served by the Victoria Line and National Rail trains to Liverpool St.
