Imagine you’re driving down Station Road, Waltham Cross, past the usual roundabouts and betting shops. Suddenly, you spot a massive, roaring river rising out of the ground like a wet, angry serpent. That’s it.
You haven’t accidentally stumbled into Middle-earth. You’ve just found the perfect spot for a mid-life crisis that involves getting soaked—responsibly, of course. Parking is easy, which is basically a miracle in the Southeast.
