Clock House Nursery
Gorgeous garden centre next to the grounds of Forty Hall offering top quality plants and seeds. It has free parking outside and is cheaper and not as busy as the other garden centres on popular Crews Hill.

"The mansion house built in Trent Park in the early 20th century was used during the Second World War as a place to house captured German military personnel. Here, the British Army could gain knowledge of what the German's were plotting by listening to their conversations secretly."
Trent Park is ideal for all the family - visit the cafe or try out the activities at the Go Ape centre.

The jewel in Enfield's crown, Forty Hall and its surrounding parkland afford picturesque views.
