Walking the Leen

The River Leen can be walked from its source in Newstead to the River Trent outflow near Wilford. A walk of around 18 miles in total from start to end. The Nottingham Local Access Forum has put together a step by step guide for the route breaking it down into 5 easy to walk sections that link in with public transport to enable you to walk the route in stages and return to your starting point.

For me having lived in Nottingham for over 20 years I find the River Leen a relaxing area to walk thanks to the wildlife it attracts and the free flowing water as it makes it way through the city. The more I have learnt about the history of the Leen the more engaged I have become. There are many opportunities available to make the River Leen even more appealing as it has so much potential.
