    Hiking

    Epping Forest, straddling the border between Greater London and Essex, is renowned as one of England's most notable forests. Its ancient woodland harbours approximately 55,000 species of ancient trees, representing some of Europe's oldest living plants.

    Historically, it served as a hunting forest, reserved for the exclusive pursuit of the royal family and their guests. Today, it stands as a biodiversity hotspot, boasting a diverse array of wildlife including deer, foxes, rabbits, and badgers.

    Notable landmarks within its expanse include Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, Chingford Plain, and the village of High Beach.
