Had a wonderful sun soaked day here. The staff (all volunteers) know their stuff and are very friendly and knowledgable. It's a lovely quiet place, saw deer roaming and an absolutely massive Heron whilst on the truck ride round the grounds. Well worth a visit and the kids get to make and fire rockets!

A amazing day thanks to the staff of volunteers. The armoury well what can I say the best collection I’ve ever seen. The guy that explained about the collection was so informative. The woodlands the building and how it was all explained made this a very pleasant experience. Thank you to all the staff for your enthusiasm

I’ve just been on the Royal Gunpowder Mills walking tour. What a great experience. The history at Waltham Abbey is fascinating, and was brought to life by the knowledgeable volunteers/guides. We were a small group of 8, so plenty of opportunities to ask as many questions as we liked. The tour allowed access to many of the buildings and structures that you only see from afar on the tractor tour. For anyone with an interest in military history, explosives, or industrial architecture l’d highly recommend this tour. Many thanks to the guides for giving us their time.
