"Pymmes Brook Trail is located in the London Boroughs of Barnet and Enfield and is just under 16 km long. It is named after William Pymme a local landowner between 1307-1327. The trail is between Monken Hadley Common and the Lee Valley Leisure Complex at Edmonton or alternatively the River Lee Navigation at Pickett's Lock where the trail connects with the Lea Valley Walk. The trail only follows Pymmes Brook approximately as much of it passes through private land which is not open to the public. In its lower urban reaches much of the brook has been culverted to alleviate the risk of flooding." Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pymmes_Brook_Trail The Brook is down in the trees on the left as the trail goes along a cycleway beside a street appropriately called Brookside. This section of the trail is largely in parkland and follows the brook more closely than in the lower part.
