Kings Weir

Kings Weir is a water control structure that spans the River Lea near Turnford and Nazeing. The installation creates a pool upstream where fish populations thrive, and it manages water levels for the surrounding area.

This structure was built to manage water flow along the River Lea and has been in use for many decades. It became an important feature for local fishing activities and water management in the region.

This weir is part of the Lee Valley Regional Park where locals come for walks and to experience nature firsthand. People appreciate the riverside setting as a place to observe wildlife and spend time outdoors.

The site has a secure car park with access controls and camera surveillance for visitor safety. Toilet facilities are available and the grounds are accessible to people with mobility needs.

The pool behind the weir has nine designated fishing spots where anglers regularly catch large fish. This location is known among local fishing communities as a productive area for specific fish species.
