We are the West London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting from Enfield Lock we walk into Essex to visit Epping Forest before finishing at Buckhurst Hill.
On route we visit Enfield Island village, Gunpowder park with its unusual boardwalk over Osier marsh, following part of London Loop to climb up to Lippitts Hill with great views over the upper Lee valley and north into Herts. On arriving in Epping Forest at High Beech we can stop for lunch at the 'forest' church of Holy Innocents (which we can visit by special arrangement) or walk onto the Kings Oak pub (10 mins) where toilets and drinks are available. Please bring picnic to eat in one of these locations. The second half of the walk will visit the more hilly parts of Epping Forest on a variety of trails, there are a few small streams to cross on bridges and mud could feature in places. Exiting at Warren wood to follow quiet residential streets to Buckhurst Hill central line station.
There is likely to be some mud in places throughout esp. in Epping Forest and 1 stile.
