Overview

An easy four-mile walk almost entirely alongside the Lee Navigation.  This interesting section has a vibrant canal community, evidence of the 2012 Olympics, arts and crafts and even a large salmon processing plant with a long history of smoking salmon.  We pass Abbey Mills and walk part of The Line, a modern sculpture trail.  A late lunch stop will be made at Cody Dock where there is a cafe and toilets.  Unfortunately the towpath beyond Cody Dock is still blocked off so we will divert to Cody Lane station. Should finish by about 15.00.
!!! No booking required, just turn up.
