It’s hard to believe that this lovely peaceful spot, set in 10,000 acres of country park and waterways, is just a 25 minute train ride from London. For an eco holiday and activity break combined, stay at one of the six waterside log cabins next door to the activity centre and try your hand at sailing, kayaking or canoeing. Caving and climbing are also available if booked in advance and there’s also excellent cycling, walking, bird watching and orienteering. An action packed London weekend escape. Breakfast and other meals available at this licensed hostel. The hostel is perfect for walks around the Lee Valley Country Park. The best time to go is dusk, the park is quieter and you can hear the wildlife of the area truly come to life. Close to all city amenities, YHA Lee Valley makes for an ideal city break in the country!
