Waterside cafe located by Stonebridge Lock in the middle of the marshes, offering coffee and refreshments
an interesting location, filled with lots of wildlife and leftover bits of canal boats. surprising number of shopping trolleys and bits of home renovation equipment. parking was free so adding a star for that. wife was very hungry which made the experience quite difficult. we found a “baltic” restaurant on the water which was delicious
Easy access green space with good walking routes 🌿 I’ve visited Tottenham Marshes a few times now, including a recent visit with a small group. One of the main advantages is the parking, which makes it easy to access the marshes without much hassle. The paths are well suited to walking and jogging, and it’s common to see runners using the route. The area feels open and relatively quiet once you’re further in, with less road noise than you might expect given the location. There’s a noticeable amount of wildlife as well, on one visit we even spotted a bird of prey flying overhead. From here, it’s easy to connect to nearby routes along the canal or walk further towards Walthamstow Wetlands, which makes it a good starting point for a longer outing. There’s also a café nearby along the canal if you want to stop for a drink. Overall, it works well as an accessible place for a relaxed walk, especially if you’re looking for somewhere practical to start from.
Tottenham Marshes extend from Ferry Lane in the south, along a narrow strip which widens to an extensive green area after passing an area of allotments. You can walk through them on good paths, parallel to the canal towpath, as far as Chalk Bridge. it is a pleasant and relaxing walk, far removed from the noise of the surrounding area.
I saw this song family and parents was very protective, so nearby it's very very full of plumes trees...... I'd remove a few bunche drop it in the water and the babies they are came so near, to it's the Juice plums. In that spot there are many dogs go to Jump and swimming in the water, so what's happening this one parents start to hissing like very aloud..... E wow the was as you can see in the video very very High protective.... Beautiful experience and beautiful families... Sun the Will enjoy the journey for the Winter coming.....
A nice little spot to come and have a stroll, jog or just take in the scenery as a whole. Come on a nice sunny afternoon and you'll have plenty of opportunities to capture some amazing photos of the landscape and the various wildlife that dot the surrounding area. And do keep an eye out for the intricate handmade sculptures around the area - some of which are filled with unique and quirky messages. An all-year rounder but probably works best in the summer months.
