Kings Oak Restaurant, Epping Forest

Highlight • Restaurant

Possible to get some refreshments here. Burgers and hotdogs, cold drinks or coffee. Just about food- don't expect mind-blowing experience. It gives you calories but that's it. Well price is not more than £5 so can't really complain. Hehe

High Beach Viewpoint, Epping Forest

Stop by this large, grassy clearing in Epping Forest for excellent views of the countryside beyond London and the M25.

There's a pub serving food here (The Kings Oak), and usually an ice cream van. There's also public toilets with a water tap outside which is really handy for top-ups on hot days!

Epping Forest

Highlight • Trail

Epping Forest is a beautiful ancient woodland bordering Essex and Greater London. It is one of the largest public open spaces in the London area, covering around 2,400 hectares (approximately 5,900 acres). The forest stretches about 12 miles (19 km) from Epping in the north to Wanstead in the south. These days, Epping Forest is a popular destination for outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy walking, cycling, horse riding, birdwatching, and picnicking. The forest also offers a network of well-marked mountain biking trails right next to London. Here there are epic mud rides in the winter and gorgeous green bashes in the summer. There is a lot of biking fun to have here.

Green Ride, Epping Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Expect wide and easy fire roads, more testing single track, some small drop offs and even a few jumps as you take in part of the Green Ride route. You'll pass by Bellringer's Hollow, Loughton Camp, and Earl's Path Pond, all well worth taking a nosey about!
