Epping Forest has a huge network of shared-use trails that are well-surfaced and wide enough to be enjoyed by pedestrians and cyclists at the same time.

Cycling is permitted on most of the paths in Epping Forest with the exception of the Iron Age camps, Loughton Brook and other ecologically or geomorphologically sensitive areas.
