About the event

How has the land of Walthamstow Wetlands changed throughout the years? Were the reservoirs always here, how did London's history throughout the 18th and 19th century lead to their creation and who built them?

If you've always wanted to learn the answers to these questions and more about the social history of the reserve, join the team of friendly guides on this guided tour.

This is a gentle tour around the reserve on paths - there may be some gentle inclines, strong stout footwear is recommended. It will last approximately 2 hours and will be fully outdoors - so dress for the weather! Please bring some water with you.

This event is for people aged 18 and above. Further information will be sent out prior to the event.

Donations to London Wildlife Trust are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

This guided tour will focus only on the social history of Walthamstow Wetlands, and there won't be an element of wildlife watching. Please see our other events for wildlife-themed activities.
