Dalston Junction to Walthamstow Central (Middlesex)
9 minutes direct from Chingford.
Recommended: An accessible East London route mostly through green spaces and back roads, along the River Lee and past the marshes and with some rough ground beside the river. There are steep ramps over footbridges and a low bridge (about 1.5m) to duck under near Coppermill Lane.
Walthamstow Marshes: One of the last remaining floodplain marshlands in London, home to over 400 plant and animal species.
Time: 2h–4h30
Lunch: Plenty of refreshment stops at either end and in Clapton Village.
Warnings: A third urban. A low bridge (around 1.5m) at the marshes end of Coppermill Lane means many walkers will need to stoop.
