Gunpowder Park

Park

😐 Gunpowder Park has a car park for about 30 cars and costs about a quid an hour to 4 hours then £5 for up to 24 hours. There are toilets by the car park.

Lee Valley Almost Wild Campsite

Campground

👍 We had a fantastic weekend stay at Lea Valley Almost Wild Campsite. The campsite is very tranquil and relaxing. There is a lot of room between the woodland pitches.

Park and Garden

Historical landmark

👍 This protected ancient site a worthwhile detour into the surrounding woodlands sustaining and nurturing its mystical allure. Origins, purpose and significance shrouded in veils of conjecture and speculation, tinged by the fairy-dust of lore and creed. Yet, perhaps a sense of ... the primordial puls...
