Royal Gunpowder Mills

There is 300 years of explosive history brought to life through film, exhibitions and interactive displays. Explore the Armoury with over 200 historic fire-arms and visit the ‘Rocket Vault’ where you will be able to see some of the secret rockets worked on at Waltham Abbey.

Don’t miss Professor Nitrate’s Mad-Lab where you will find a fun-packed series of hands on experiments and activities set within the laboratory of eccentric rocket scientist. The Professor is always on the look-out for willing volunteers to test his latest theories so visitors will need to be prepared for fun-filled and, occasionally, smoke-filled adventures!

Hop on-board a military vehicle or land-train for a tour of the site’s most interesting and explosive locations.
