Great place to come for walks and a bit of history. The Abbey was dissolved in 1540. It was the last monastic house in England to be surrendered to the Crown. Although, you can still see 14th century gatehouse and bridge that remains, as well as the walls of the post-medieval house that was built following its dissolution. We have visited in early evening and it still managed to see the beauty of this area, especially with all Christmas lights, which added extra magical feeling to it. Lots of ducks in the river minding their business. :) Beautiful garden. Lots of places to eat and shops. The car park is next to Waltham Abbey Gardens and is £1 first hour and afterwards £2 up to 24 hours. Nice place to bring your furry friends too!

Pleasant area to walk though today the weather was far from ideal so a bit muddy in places. From the car park you can stroll up through a walled garden area & across a stretch of grass that leads you to Waltham Abbey Church & highstreet beyond. In the churchyard you can find the resting place of King Harold. Some interesting architecture too.

It's a beautiful old ruins has been saved since 14th century. The Waltham Abbey Gatehouse. The small and large archways were for wheeled and pedestrian traffic respectively. You can find them at the entrance to the gorgeous park and leads to fields/lee valley or local nice and cosy town centre.

Beautiful, peaceful, tranquil and stunning scenery and Abbey. The garden is massive and full of beautiful flowers and scenery, which circles the Abbey. The Abbey was beautiful, inside and out, the building and art makes Waltham Abbey stand out.

What a relaxing park and gardens.. well maintained and not busy at all… awesome place to grab a book and enjoy some quiet time

Nice parkland area nice walks around the area. Dog friendly. Clean toilets, nice café area with outside seating. Nice walk to small high street. Church is nice to look around and has some history. Car park with lots of space.

Interesting place to walk round, with the grass looking green and inviting, even found a little mini bridge near what was left of the old mill race

Stunning place The history, the way everything is kept Just a beautiful place with a great town nearby Definitely going back
