Overview

 Join Andrea to explore the history of Waltham Cross and Waltham Abbey, hearing about kings, queens, bombs and the Greenwich Meridian.  This is a circular walk of about three and a half miles, but if you wish to stay on and visit the museum or have lunch at the pie & mash shop in Waltham Abbey, it is a short, easy walk or bus ride back to Waltham Cross station.  Toilets and refreshments.
