It's often possible to spot the Deer Sanctuary's fallow deer inhabitants from the trails in this part of Epping Forest. Once a Royal hunting forest, Epping has had a long association with deer.

The increase in road traffic through the forest in the 1950s meant deer were often getting hit by cars. The sanctuary was set up in 1959 to protect them.
