Grimston's Oak

Historical landmark

👍👍 It's an oak tree. What more can I say? That every branch in every direction grazes perfection? That the girth of a trunk that's carried the weight of a medieval knight who's stopped to breathe on the rasp of the bark is as worn as it is strong?

Waltham Abbey Gatehouse and Bridge

Abbey

👍 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.

Canal path was very clean, sadly some still drop litter but overall not too bad. Will be going back to check out the Lee Va...

The Gypsy Stone

Historical landmark

👍👍 A landmark you can’t miss out on, a dry oasis surrounded by a sea of mud. Who would have thought that a mere stone could be such a must see attraction.
