SUMMARY:Enfield Island Village to Cheshunt (about 6 miles)
DESCRIPTION:Meet at BOWES PARK station in time to catch the 1042 train
 . This train will have called at Alexandra Palace prior to this and w
 ill also stop at Palmers Green. Oyster pre-pay or Freedom passes can b
 e used (you will need one of these since the next stage involves a bus
  on which cash fares cannot be paid). \nWe will travel to ENFIELD CH
 ASE (arrive 1051). Then we cross the road and catch a 121 bus to ENFI
 ELD ISLAND VILLAGE. The 121 will have started its journey at Turnpike
  Lane and will have run via Wood Green, Palmers Green, Southgate and O
 akwood before reaching Enfield. If anyone would prefer to catch the 12
 1 from one of these points please email me (by replying to this addres
 s) or phone me (07940 328011) and we will come to an arrangement regar
 ding meeting.   \n \nEnfield Island Village isn't an island or a vi
 llage and its only barely in Enfield. What it is really is a new housi
 ng development built on the site of the Royal Enfield Small Arms Facto
 ry, for a long time the supplier of rifles and pistols to the armed fo
 rces. Some of the original buildings remain and we will walk through t
 hem en-route to the River Lee Navigation at Enfield Lock. We then walk
  beside the canal to Waltham Cross. Here we will visit the 'White Wate
 r Centre'. This was built for the Olympics (for whatever sport it is t
 hat involves attempting to drown yourself in canoes). We will be able 
 to watch a lot of frightened people attempting to do just that in some
  very impressive (though artificial) rapids. There is also a substanti
 al cafe here where I propose to eat lunch, though you may prefer to br
 ing your own food and drink and have a picnic.  \nAfter lunch we cont
 inue into Waltham Abbey to visit the Abbey itself. There has been a ch
 urch here since the 7th Century. It was one of the largest churches in
  England and was an important place of pilgrimage. It was the last abb
 ey to be dissolved by Henry VIII. King Harold is said to be buried 'so
 mewhere' in the grounds (thanks Wikipedia). You can finish here if you
  wish. There are two buses per hour to Waltham Cross (for train to Tot
 tenham Hale or bus to Enfield/Tottenham). Otherwise we continue on a f
 ootpath beside a tranquil stream, then skirting the huge disused Walth
 am Abbey gunpowder works that is now slowly returning to nature. Passi
 ng large lakes popular with birdwatchers we reach the Lee Navigation a
 gain. This we follow to near Cheshunt station. Refreshments are availa
 ble (McMullens Hertford Ales) in a pub near the station if required.\n
