Spring is finally here, that wonderful moment when the world wakes up again. Bulbs begin to sprout, blossom bursts into life, and the trees start showing off their first buds of the year. As the weather brightens and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to step outside and discover everything Lee Valley Regional Park has to offer and to love spring with us.


With so many fantastic places to explore, one visit is never enough. Make this the season you rediscover your Lee Valley.

 

Parks, nature and wildlife

Spring is a magical time for wildlife across the park. Keep an eye out for speedy Swifts, graceful Barn Owls, electric‑blue flashes of Kingfishers and the uplifting songs of Skylarks. And if you listen carefully, you might even hear the iconic call of the Cuckoo. Bumblebees and other pollinators are also back from their winter rest, buzzing busily between spring flowers as they kick‑start the season.


 

As the park shifts from winter greys to vibrant greens, it becomes the ideal place for a peaceful walk, refreshing cycle or a relaxed picnic with friends and family. Start your spring adventure at one of our top spots:
