Epping Forest

Great place

The only real forest in London to walk around.

Get ready for a long walk

Absolutely amazing nature reserve. Clean as a whistle, calm and pleasant. You can walk around this beautiful area and escape the hustle and hustle of the city! Only not giving 5 stars as I have a young family and there were no toilet facilities for the kids... if there is; can someone please drop a comment about where this can be found.

Exceptional ancient forest.

Went for a run here with quite a big group. Was a lovely trail run. Would reccomend if you're ever around.

Lovely park x

amazing forest with so many views and lovely walks for all ages and especially dogs. finding swings is always such a fun challenge - even if you dont find them!! gorgeous sights and trees every time

Always lovely, its big so its never boring. Each section has something different, from lakes, to near pub, to a coffee shop, ect Parking is overpriced but im sure its private parking company not council.

Lots of car parks, maps, long and short walking routes. Dog friendly and good for a bike ride. Not all car parks have facilities.

The forest is a lovely place to walk, with dogs or children. Great on bikes too. Connaught Waters is lovely.

Amazing space and green to walk the dog. Some amazing views and a pond or lake parking is not free anymore that’s a downer

Not far out of town, you can even come on the tube. Interesting history and connections Epstein, T E Lawrence and lots more. Good selection of pubs around. Pleasant woodland, open areas and some wildlife. Fairly well kept. Enjoyable time.

It’s a properly huge space Epping Forest, fantastic tree-lined walking paths are everywhere, in fact it’s possible to lose your bearings quite easily, but as long as you listen out for road noise, you can pretty much work out where you are as a newbie (or check Googlemaps haha). There’s a bit of hill but it’s mainly flat, would be great for a run too.

I take my 2 year old granddaughter there regularly, she loves it. A lovely way to introduce children to wildlife.

I’ve lived in Chingford a few years now and I believe we take Epping forest for granted, it’s right on our doorstep and we never take the time to enjoy it the air is fresh there are some breathtaking views and a multitude of wild life. While worth an hour or two you’ll be glad you did we are

Epping Forest is a beautiful place and a wonderful survival. It has enough variety to provide interesting walking. The visitor centres have trails and are very interesting in themselves.

No better place to go on an adventure with small children for free. To mention all the places you can go in Epping Forest would take to long. Just go on your adventure and see what you can find. A good place to start would be to go to the Queen Elizabeth hunting lodge have a look around then work your way into the forest. And on a Sunny day think about taking a picnic.

There’s a wilderness on London’s doorstep. The easier parts to access are just an introduction as to what she holds. Delve deeper and find solitude and the deer.
