Sat 23 AUG 2025 GREEN LINK WALK LEA BRIDGE TO EPPING FOREST - Leader: Kleo Z

Our final stretch of the Green Link Walk begins at Lea Bridge, following quiet riverside paths along the River Lea. From there we pass through the marshes and into central Walthamstow, before heading to Epping Forest. Along the way we’ll visit St Peter’s Church—known as “St Peter-in-the-Forest”—then continue past Snaresbrook Crown Court, once a Victorian orphanage and now the largest court centre in Europe. Beside it lies a scenic lake, often filled with a large number of swans. The walk ends at Snaresbrook Station.
