The wide section of trail takes you through Epping Thicks, a densely wooded part of Epping Forest. Not far from here is Amesbury Banks, the site of an Iron Age Hillfort, while to the northeast is Bell Common and then the market town of Epping, beyond the busy M25. This part of the forest is explored on both the Oak Trail and the Epping Forest Big Walk.
