Gernon Bushes Nature Reserve is a pocket of ancient woodland that is home to many rare marsh plants and flowers. It is the last remnant of the old Coopersale Common that once linked Epping Lower Forest to Ongar Park, the Royal Hunting Forest. Keep a look-out for the rare marsh fern, as well as lady fern, bogbean, marsh valerian, marsh marigold, and ragged robin.
