Leyton Flats and Hollow Pond are great places to explore by bike. On warm summer days, it's an ideal place to bring a picnic and watch the local wildlife. There's even the option of hiring a rowing boat and getting out onto the lake.

This deer sanctuary is home to a population of fallow deer and is located on the edge of Epping Forest. The sanctuary is part of Epping Forest's long history of deer conservation, dating back to medieval times when the forest was a royal hunting ground.

Hollow Pond is on the southern tip of Epping Forest in London. It was built in the 18th century as a reservoir for water supply. Today it's a lovely recreational area ideal for walking, picnics and activities. It's easily accessible by transport and a real escape into nature right in the heart of the city.

Abney Park Cemetery is one of the "Magnificent Seven" cemeteries in London, built in the Victorian era in the suburbs of London to alleviate crowding in the central cemeteries. It is unique in that it was laid out as an arboretum, to be both a final resting place and a garden. It has a unique link to the Salvation Army, as founder William Booth and his wife Catherine (a force in the temperance movement and advocate of women's right to preach). Frank Bostock, lion-tamer in the 19th and early 20th century is also buried there, with a sad, tame looking lion atop his monument. Bostock died at the age of 46 in his bed, brought down by a mightier but smaller foe than lions, a flu virus.

The tree is estimated to be about 350 years old

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.
