Enjoy the parks, forest, waterways and history on North-East London's doorstep as we take in Theobalds House (once the bolthole of James I), Waltham Abbey (where 1066's King Harold II may well be buried) with a passing glance at Good Queen Bess's hunting lodge. Oh and did I almost forget what might well be the oldest house in the capital? Could be muddy in places. Pub stop. Bring a packed lunch.
