• 

  Step 1: Up the stairs at Rye House station and turn right, as the sign says 💁🏼‍♀️. These steps are the only inaccessible part of the walk for wheels

• 

  Step 2: Cross the bridge over the River Lea navigation channel (carefully as there is no pavement) and take a quick detour to explore Rye House

• 

  Step 3: The remaining part of the house was part of a fortification built in 1443 by a Danish Lord.

• 

  Step 4: Follow this rather drab stretch towards the reserve - if you come in late summer you can feast on blackberries as you walk 😋

• 

  Step 5: Made it! You’re greeted with pollination heaven. Loads of 🐝 and 🦋 when we visited

• 

  Step 6: Head into the visitor centre and join the path on the other side. Grab a map if you need it and the padlock passcode if you have wheels
