Nearby there is the River Lee Country Park, farms and swimming pool, all you need for a great day out any time of the year.
Historic Market Town
Waltham Abbey is a town of contrast. With its Church, much of which dates back to the 12th century, 16th century timber framed buildings, and Art Nouveau Town Hall, the town is a living example of how its history has evolved.
Visit Waltham Abbey’s Market Square on either a Tuesday or Saturday and you’ll experience an open market. The bustling activity should not be missed. What’s more, the main street in the town centre is pedestrianised, so you can stroll around exploring the town’s shops* in comfort and there are several conveniently located car parks to choose from.
For more information about the market, please contact Waltham Abbey Town Council on 01992 714949.
