The Lea Valley Walk by Leigh Hatts

A guide to the Lea Valley Walk - one of the most varied walking routes around London. It offers 50 miles of traffic-free walking, tracing the route of the River Lea from its source at Leagrave near Luton to where it meets the Thames in east London. As the route follows the river, it undergoes a metamorphosis from urban trail to rural pathway.
Leigh Hatts has been walking the Thames towpath and exploring the river and Docklands since 1981 when he worked on the Thames Walk Feasibility Study which resulted the Countryside Commission persuading the government to designate the 180 mile route as a national trail. In addition to writing three Thames books, Leigh Hatts was for a decade the author of the London Transport Walks Book series. He also devised the 20 mile Bournemouth Coast Path which now links the South West Coast Path to the Solent Way to create a 652 mile coast route from Minehead to Emsworth. In addition to a guide to this route he has written walks books featuring Dorset's coast and countryside and the New Forest. The author worked as a reporter with the walkers' magazine TGO and as arts correspondent of the Catholic Herald. He is co-founder of Bankside Press and London's in SE1 listings magazine.
