WHAT WE DID

  • THE AREA

    Epping Forest is the largest open space in London at just over 6,000 acres, stretching from Manor Park in east London to just north of Epping in Essex. It’s a haven for wildlife, offering open grasslands, majestic woodlands and deep ponds.As one of the earliest protected landscapes in England, Epping Forest pre-dates the UK’s National Parks by nearly 80 years.

  • THE ROUTE

    This route through Epping Forest offers a delightful journey starting at Earl's Path. We went through gentle inclines and dense woodland teeming with wildlife, leading to scenic clearings with city views. The highlight was the serene Wake Valley Pond, perfect for a peaceful break.
