Wildlife

An educational nature park within a bend of the River Lea, designed around a series of created wetlands, including ponds, ditches and reedbeds, all connected with sluices to control the flow of water. The site is very species-rich, although many of the plants here, particularly the wetland ones, are the result of planting. The park, which is managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, is open every day of the week from 9-5.
