It's almost the same, but the line is only a rough match to the paths so it's harder to follow and also goes along a path that is blocked, east of Horseshoe Hill....

I'm flagging the route for Access issues, see below, but hopefully it will be cleared by Essex County Council fairly soon. Difficult to see as A turn in the path means it's camouflaged plus no light though hedge. I've let the county council know about the blockage and the lack of sign on Sergeant's Green Lane....

Plenty of birdlife on this mostly quiet walk using wide shared paths through Waltham Marsh and Hall Marsh to Chesham Junction. The walk then follows the paved road to Chesham....

However an easier option is to walk onto a small car park on Beechfield walk then turn right toward Lodge Lane and then right onto the footpath and back on route over the M25....

Tim Ryan

it is however twice the length of Walwal1 and uses a footbridge with many steps to get over the rail line. it is safe, and if you have the time makes for a good alternative....

Starts off along roads but then through beautiful open fields and through Epping forest...

This is a great route, especially in the middle section when you are off road. It can be muddy and there are a few stiles to get over as well as footbridges with stairs. A couple of sections of path were a little overgrown between Waltham Abbey and the M25....

But it's short and not unsafe and I'm not sure what other options there would be to connect these two places in a nicer way....

There is a turn to the south a little before the drawn route shows you, towards an empty building side, and along the back of some gardens. Most of the rest of the route is through there, and it is really lovely. A lovely route, even on a cold December afternoon....

From Epping station there is a little uphill, and after walking along some residential streets for a little, the route takes you through a lovely wood, some open fields, and then along a foot path well away set from a road. On the other side of some woods, the route then continues along a road (with annoying pavement parked cars near the church), before going through a lovely wood....

This is a good route, but in places hard to follow and inaccurate. I'm therefore uploading Walepp Two, which has these fixed....

Near Waltham Abbey, there is a short section along a busy road, before ending up at the Abbey grounds and finishing on the meridian line....

Derick Rethans

It is not a *nice* route, but as it is short, and direct, it's not bad....

Derick Rethans

Short grass and tarmac paths to the Abbey itself, very pretty. Then a short monotonous road to Cheshunt Town center with shops and cafes....

There seemed to be a path through Forty Hall then through woods running alongside the marked road route but signs indicated the path past the Hall was not open at all times. But you join this path Westward alongside Turkey Brook for a while....

Strider

The path opposite the stables can be hard to spot as it is a little overgrown, but after a short distance the path opens to good views across fields. After a km the path leads to a footbridge with steps over the A121.On the other side the path is again overgrown with long grass but is navigable....

Strider

Starts well in Waltham Abbey High Street, nice shops, pubs , good views to the side....

The first 2km follow the A105 main road, which is not very pleasant, but there is an alternative along quieter residential streets: from directly opposite Enfield Town station take St Andrews Road, then Churchbury Lane as far as Canonbury Road, then straight across and follow a footpath (a bit narrow and uneven in places) through to Middleton Avenue, across again into Hallside Road and rejoin the original route on Forty Hill. Then it's just 350m along the main road into the town and the finish (photo 5)....

If you are walking the route for pleasure I would say there are better places to walk, for example nearby the walk from Cheshunt to Waltham Abbey (CHEWAL) is immensely more interesting....
