From Broxbourne Railway Station turn right into Station Road and proceed along to the T-Junction (A1170). Turn left and then immediately right into Park Lane.

Nazeing Road is completely closed 3rd Jan through to 30th April. This will affect anybody who normally accessed the site via the Crooked Mile from Waltham Abbey. Diversion is either via Donna Weir and Hoddesdon or up the A10 and across from Wormley.
Broxbourne Train Station is approx 2 miles from the Campsite. This means you could be on a train and heading to central London within 7 minutes of leaving the site by car or 40 minutes if you decide to walk. Operated by Greater Anglia. Trains run regularly during the week and weekends and can have you in the City of London in under half hour.
If the city doesn’t take your fancy then you can connect with services to Cambridge or Hertford East and explore the local countryside. You can even get the train if you have booked white water rafting, or want to explore Lee Valley. Contact Greater Anglia for discounts before your stay.
