About Gilwell Hill, Chingford

This is an enviable location...  Situated a stone’s throw from Epping Forests’ 6,000 acres of ancient woodland, Gilwell Hill is the perfect place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of central London.

Leisure

The convenience demanded by the pace of modern living has not been forgotten. Homeowners will find themselves with easy access to Chingford, with its leisure facilities, shops, schools and other amenities.

The historic market town of Waltham Abbey is within easy driving distance too, and can quickly become your go-to place when visitors arrive. The Abbey itself is a stunning location to start. With its superb stained glass windows and impressive sixteenth century tower, it really is a beautiful place and remains one of the area’s must-see sites. Waltham Abbey celebrates its past through its many museums and attractions. And if you like your history with a bit more bite, try the Royal Gunpowder Mills museum. Here you can safely explore the history of explosives with all the bells and whistles; bangs and flashes.

Fancy a change of scene? The town of Loughton is also close by – and gives you a completely different sort of day out. This is the place to come when you want to enjoy a meal out or sample a bit of the local café culture.

Ardent shoppers will be drawn by its dazzling array of designer boutiques; shopping in Loughton is always an exhilarating experience. Loughton also hosts an excellent farmer’s market. Together with the thriving restaurants, bars and cafés it makes Loughton the perfect retreat for laid back days in convivial surroundings.

Of course, one of the other great benefits about Gilwell Hill is its close proximity to London. Hop on a train and you can be there within half an hour. It reinforces that feeling of being just where you need to be – close to all of that beautiful English countryside but still within easy reach of all that London has to offer.

A budding new community that will appeal to all ages, Gilwell Hill offers a safe and appealing environment for everyone. The community centre is set to become a hub of local activity. And with plenty of recreational opportunities on the doorstep, there is so much here to please the most discerning home buyer.

There is plenty on hand to keep the homeowners of Gilwell Hill busy during their leisure time. Outdoor pursuits such as sailing, windsurfing and fishing are available at the nearby Lee Valley reservoir – a beautiful way to enjoy the great outdoors.

For those who prefer to stay on solid ground, there is an abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and nature watching to enjoy in the surrounding woodland.  Epping Forest itself stretches as far as the eye can see – and with its scenic open spaces, established beauty spots and numerous areas of special interest, there is plenty to explore and enjoy.

Golfers are well catered for – no fewer than four golf courses can be found within a short distance of Gilwell Hill. And when a spot of retail therapy is needed, the nearby towns offer plenty of choice; and London – with its famous shopping streets as well as a wealth of cultural and entertainment experiences – is within easy reach by train or car too.
