Cheshunt and the adjoining town of Waltham Cross are set on the edge of the Lee Valley Park. Cheshunt is a popular shopping centre, with a pond and fountain at its centre. Waltham Cross (to the south) is noted for its beautiful ´Eleanor Cross´, a Grade I listed monument, erected by King Edward I in 1290 in memory of his beloved queen. Market day is Wednesday in Cheshunt and Friday in Waltham Cross.
