Waltham Abbey Stay
Walking
Wonderful walk within the Lee Valley Regional Park, walk along Cornmill stream. Cornmill Meadow is a dragonfly sancturary, is great for bird-watching, and just a peaceful green walk. Directly accessible from Waltham Abbey Garden. You can make it into a circular walk or carry on up to Fishers Green.

Fishers Green is a great spot within the Lee Valley Regional Park, where there is more water than land. It has a car park, you can walk up or cycle from the house.

Also restaurants, nail bars, and barbers. The Epping District Museum is also here.
