"Lea Valley Park at Cheshunt is an excellent place to visit if you enjoy the outdoors. It is excellent during the summertime if you like to do some cycling, rollerblading or even walking around the park with its beautiful scenery you can enjoy seeing all the different wildlife there from Swans to the beautiful orchid flowers around its lakes and ponds.
The park is open 24 hours and parking is free, the park is suitable for families with young children. There is also a Cheshunt Budget Youth Hostal accommodation available for families or adults wanting to stay at cheap prices.
To find your local YHA accomodation check out this site: http://www.yha.org.uk/ Membership is needed but you can also join if you don't have a membership card with them.
Lots of shady spots to enjoy a picnic in the park or if you don't fancy that you can go and eat at the Cheshunt Youth Hostel Restaurant.
