Welcome to Cedars Park

Historic Site of Theobalds Palace

Cedars Park is a public park covering 19 acres in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. It is the former site of Theobalds Palace, one of the most renowned English palaces of the Stuart period and King James I's favourite residence, where he spent the majority of his later life hunting and enjoying performances. The palace was destroyed during the English Civil War.

The purpose of this website is to highlight the historical significance of the park and provide some useful information to the public.

Facilities

Remaining structures of Theobalds Palace can be found around the park, including extant garden walls. Broxbourne Borough Council have honoured the rich history of Cedars Park with the provision of replica royal features, reduced models of the palace and bas reliefs of prominent historical figures — supported by Heritage Lottery funding.

There are a number of other quality features and you can get an impression from our photo gallery. Information boards are located around the park. There is also an excellent Café and Nature Centre on site.
