The next Guided Tour of Waltham Abbey’s heritage sites will be on Saturday 16th August. Our experienced guide Chris Sumner will be leading the tour and telling you all about the town’s very rich heritage. And he will have lots of stories to tell you about the town, but you will have to join the tour to find out about them.
The tour starts from the Tourist Information Centre, Town Hall side entrance, EN9 1DG, at 11am and lasts about an hour and a half. You can just turn up on the day, or reserve your place in advance by calling 01992 660336 or emailing tic@walthamabbey-tc.gov.uk
The price of the tour has not increased. Still £5 per adult which includes a Visitor pack and a hot drink and biscuits; £2 for ages 8 to 16; children under 8 free of charge.
Our team are all historians and all experienced guides.
Towards the end of his working life as a Professional Engineer Chris became interested in history, which developed into his being elected Chairman of Waltham Abbey Historical Society. He stepped down from this appointment recently, but remains a committee member and newsletter editor. He specialises in social history and the rich history of Waltham Abbey.
If you can’t make this date, there will be tours on the Third Saturday of each month until October.
