Welcome to Lea Navigation

The Lea Navigation is a man-made waterway that runs through the heart of Essex, connecting the River Thames to Hertfordshire. It was constructed in the 18th century to transport goods such as coal, timber, and grain to London. Today, the Lea Navigation is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The waterway is lined with picturesque scenery, including nature reserves, parks, and historic landmarks.

One of the most notable features of the Lea Navigation is the Olympic Park, which was built for the 2012 London Olympics. The park is home to several world-class sporting venues, including the Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, and the Velodrome. Visitors can take a guided tour of the park, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterway. The park also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, and sporting competitions.

Another popular attraction along the Lea Navigation is the Lee Valley White Water Centre. This state-of-the-art facility was built for the 2012 Olympics and offers a range of water sports, including white water rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. The centre is open to the public and provides a thrilling experience for all ages and abilities. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time paddler, the Lee Valley White Water Centre is a must-visit destination along the Lea Navigation.
