About the marina
Hazlemere Marina is a newly developed basin on the River Lee, just a ten-minute walk from the historic market town of Waltham Abbey and a ten-minute walk from Waltham Cross station where the frequent trains whisk you to London in only thirty minutes.
The picturesque town has an interesting collection of independent shops, and a pretty pedestrianised street of cafés and restaurants, as well as a twice-weekly market.
The marina borders the Lee Valley Country Park where you can enjoy walking, cycling and many more outdoor activities in 10,000 acres of beautiful English countryside.
The moorings
Offering space, calm and a high standard of provision, the moorings at Hazlemere Marina support an easy, refined waterside lifestyle within a carefully managed marina environment. With a focus on quality, privacy and day-to-day comfort, the setting supports a relaxed lifestyle alongside a small, established community of residents.
Thoughtfully managed and maintained, the marina provides a dependable base for long-term living on the River Lee, where the emphasis is on space, ease and a consistently high standard of care that allows residents to enjoy life on the water with confidence.
