Travel

By car: Cheshunt is just north of the M25 (Junction 25).  Take the A10.  Turn off (left, if you’re driving from London) at Church Lane traffic lights.  At the first roundabout, turn right into Flamstead End Road.  After mini-roundabout at bottom of Longfield Lane, turn right into Park Lane.  The entrance to Cheshunt Park is about 100m on the right.  Parking will be in a field provided the ground is not too wet.  Parking will not be available until 9.45am as the field will first be used for a Junior ParkRun.

By train: trains run from Liverpool Street and Stratford to Cheshunt.  Journey time is about 30 minutes.  Cheshunt Park is about 2 miles walk from the station.  From the station, walk west along Windmill Lane.  At the T-junction, turn right into Turner’s Hill.  Bear left into High Street and after a short distance, turn left into Church Lane.  Cross the A10, Great Cambridge Road.  Then follow the car instructions, above.  As far as I know, there is no bus service between the station and the Park on Sunday morning.
