Mount Temple House
Moate
Half a mile of avenue meandering through mature parkland brings you to Temple House, its lush green grass maintained in perfect order with the assistance of sheep and their lambs. Fine old trees provide the flock with a measure of shade on hot days and, in all directions, there is a screen formed by the natural woods that cover more than half the area of this impressive estate. Temple House, a luxury Country House in county Sligo, is a beautiful Georgian manor set in a private estate of over 1,000 acres, overlooking a 13th century lakeside castle of the Knights Templar. The Perceval family home since 1665, the present manor was redesigned in 1864 and enjoys the authentic and unpretentious luxury country house atmosphere.

About The Area
Waltham Abbey is a handy Essex base for a short UK golf break, especially for golfers who want easy access to London, the Lee Valley and the Essex/Hertfordshire border. It is not a resort-style destination, but it has more character than a simple commuter-town base, with the historic abbey, riverside walks and green spaces giving visitors something easy to enjoy between rounds.
The town’s main off-course draw is Waltham Abbey Gardens and Cornmill Meadows, which cover just over 9 hectares and include open grassland, woodland, wildlife areas and a moated old orchard. The wider Lee Valley also gives the area a strong outdoorsy feel, with walking, cycling, waterside scenery and family attractions nearby.
For golf, Waltham Abbey works best as a base for nearby courses rather than a stay-and-play resort. Cheshunt Park Golf Course is one of the closest options, offering an 18-hole, par-71 parkland course measuring 6,635 yards, set within 232 acres of Cheshunt Park, with a driving range, putting green, chipping area, bar, restaurant and shop.
Another strong nearby choice is West Essex Golf Club in Chingford, which offers an 18-hole, par-71 championship parkland course measuring 6,385 yards. It is a good fit for golfers who want a more established Essex/London-edge course during a short break.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Waltham Abbey suits a low-fuss Essex golf weekend, a society trip, or a practical base for combining golf with Lee Valley, Epping Forest, Waltham Cross and London. It is not a luxury golf resort destination, but for access, heritage and nearby parkland golf, it does the job very neatly.
