Narrative Accounts

The poem A Tale of Two Swannes is set along the River Lee. It was written by William Vallans and published in 1590. The river also features in the early chapters of The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton.

A guide to walking along the river valley was written by Leigh Hatts, and an account of a walk along the complete length of the river in 2009 was published as a blog by "Diamond Geezer".

A documentary about the river was presented by Griff Rhys Jones and broadcast by the BBC in 2009.
