This is the last part of the Lea Valley Walk from Enfield Lock to Bow. The walk is along the towpath of the Lee Navigation, a “canalised” section of the River Lea. For this section, there is only one road to cross, and the walk is reasonably well waymarked, sometimes with the recognised white swan logo.
