About this walk

Once upon a time they tested munitions here, and visits were not recommended! But today Gunpowder Park has been transformed into an exciting 115 hectares country park where people, wildlife and the arts coexist in a rather more peaceful environment. The park has been shaped into four specific regions which all offer different experiences. It is an ideal venue for walkers and cyclists, with a comprehensive network of surfaced paths accessible to all and a summer use bridleway, which circles the arable fields.

PLEASE NOTE: The address and what3words does not take you to the car park. The details for this is as follows: ///Link → If using Google Maps type in Gunpowder Park & Sewardstone Marsh This walk is very wheelchair accessible throughout. The paths are a hard surface, making it excellent for winter walks. There are areas of the grass that becomes a little flooded but the paths remain clear. There are public toilets on site. Paid car parking which isn’t too expensive, and you are able to pay for parking when you return to your car before you exit so you don’t have to worry about going over your time. There are many birdwatching hides (which are also wheelchair accessible) and an abundance of bird life. The wet woodlands at Osier Marsh and is amazing and has a wheelchair accessible boardwalk. There are plenty of poo bins, but there are NO rubbish bins anywhere in the park. There are no cafe or tearooms, but there is a pub up the road, The Town of Waltham Abbey, and a retail park all approx. 1 mile away and can be walked to. Dogs are allowed off lead throughout the park and if you wish to extend your walk you can walk into the wonderful Lea Valley and walk for hours.
