EPPING FOREST SOUTH DAY WALK
London
by Adventure Solos
OVERVIEW
Day Hikes by Adventure Solos are a great way to get to know us if you're interested in our solo-friendly adventures. We set a fairly slow and steady pace for these walks, making them social and inclusive events. All walks are lead by an Adventure Solos host that is also a qualified Mountain Leader and first aider (usually Chris from Adventure Solos).

DESCRIPTION
Epping Forest, London's largest open space, is a former Royal Forest. It covers over 6,000 acres of land, with 50,000 ancient tress and over 100 lakes and ponds.
​​
The Central Line to Loughton Underground Station makes for easy access from London. From there, this 12 mile (19km) walk takes us past Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, ancient hornbeam trees of 'Barn Hoppit' (look for the trees with streaky bark and 'wrinkly' leaves), Higham's Park Lake, ponds and wildflower meadows.
​​​​
The walk is relatively flat; there are no major hills to ascend or descend.
​
The walk will take around 6 hours plus approximately 1 hour visit to the beer garden (soft drinks are available).
​​​
We walk at a steady pace for this hike; a moderate level of fitness will suffice.
