River Lee: View of the Henge Sculpture Traditional Cache

The River Lee Navigation begins in Hertford and makes it's way down to Limehouse Basin. There is a great deal of history to the river - eg near Enfield lock is the site of the former Enfield Small Arms Factory.

There are numerous locks and bridges and of course a tow path that runs all the way along the river - great for cycling and walking. Some parts of the river are more attractive than others; there are areas where you can see a lot of wildlife. Along the route are many opportunities to explore The Lee Valley Regional Park.

The tow path can be reached from nearby train stations such as Tottenham hale, Cheshunt and Broxbourne. There are also some cafes and pubs. We adopted this series of caches from P- Smiffy Clan and are extending the series further north.

This one is giving you an opportunity to divert off the towpath for a while to see some of the Lee Valley Sculptures dotted around all over this area of the park.

The first you come to is "The Henge by Andy Ish - portrays the element of earth. Insects, birds, earth symbols and a green man are carved and branded onto the blocks, with some of the markings in a cave art style. The blocks are positioned to be used for climbing, balancing and jumping. Some are even positioned as tables and chairs ideal for picnics with family and friends"
