Join Save Lea Marshes as we walk from the source to the mouth of our glorious but much-abused River Lea!
On this modern day pilgrimage, we will take a staggered journey exploring the entire length of the River Lea on foot. The walk will be a foundational event to establish Rights for the River Lea, celebrating its wonder and wildlife, what is sacred about the river for human and more-than-human communities. At the same time, we will discover the issues affecting the health, safety and well-being of the river and its communities.
We will set off from the source of the River Lea – a chalk stream in Luton – and amble all the way to its mouth, Leamouth, where it enters the Thames, over the course of nine days.

Nature provides to us freely. It is in that spirit of giving that we are hosting all these walks completely for free.
A lot of work goes into such events, and our volunteers have been planning this pilgrimage since January. If you’d like to make a donation towards our work, please head to the Donate page of our website. Thank you!
