Epping Forest
Large expanse of green space stretching 12 miles (19 km) from Forest Gate into Essex. Despite the name it is not completely wooded: in medieval times "forest" meant a royal hunting ground.
Why it is worth a visit
Ancient forest of pollarded beech and hornbeam on London's north-east edge, with Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge.
