Where
is Waltham Cross
Waltham Cross is the most southern town in Hertfordshire,
England. The town generates some historical interest as it is the location
of one of the Eleanor Crosses, which can clearly be seen in the town centre,
and because London's Temple Bar monument was formerly located in some
woodland just outside the town. It is located just south of Cheshunt and
north of Enfield in Middlesex where the M25 motorway and the A10 meet.
In the centre of the town lies one of the three surviving
Eleanor crosses. Twelve of these were originally set up by Edward I to
commemorate the resting places of his dead queen, Eleanor of Castile.
More information on the Eleanor Cross can be found in the Local History
section.
The central shopping pavilion is an attractive covered
area of shops. Most of the remaining area of the town centre has been
developed by the Council as a pedestrian area, providing space for street
entertainment and open air markets on Wednesday and Fridays.
Waltham Cross is easy to get to if you are using public transport or arriving
by car. Local bus services from Hertfordshire and Essex link seamlessly
with those into London. Waltham Cross also has two mainline railway stations
linking directly with London Liverpool Street to the South, the journey
taking approximately 30 minutes and with stations in Hertfordshire and
Cambridgeshire to the North.
For those wishing to travel by car, Waltham Cross is located just off
of the M25 London Orbital Motorway at Junction 25 (signposted A10).
