Roding Valley Park
This area of former floodplain by the River Roding was designated a linear park after construction of the M11. It provides a pleasant north-south leisure route alongside the rather sluggish Roding. The new tree planting will in time screen the motorway, which has a roar like a jumbo jet. Here we are looking north, with the river to our right and the motorway on the left. Redbridge roundabout is half a mile behind us.

Weir on River Roding
This section of river in a cutting is artificial and bypasses a meander to the left. It was dug when the roads associated with the southern end of the M11 were built.

Footbridge to Roding Lane South
This is on the 'dry' side of the east bank of the River Roding, and appears to cross a fragment of the natural river course before it was straightened.

Pumping station by River Roding
Whether this mid 19th century building is still routinely used is doubtful, but it and its compound are in excellent condition and well maintained.
