A great place for a walk before paying a visit to the Garnon Bushes pub in Coopersale!🙂

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.

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.

An Iron Age hillfort once stood here, in the northern reaches of Epping Forest. The earthworks are still clearly visible and would have protected an area of 11 acres (4.5 hectares). The legend goes that Boudica's last stand against the Romans occurred here, though there's no actual evidence that this is the case.

Also known as 'The Monarch of the Forest', Grimston's Oak is estimated to be around 350 years old. It is named after a cricketer, Robert Grimston who played in the 19th century, but is sometimes called Bedford's Oak after JT Bedford in recognition of his work to save Epping Forest in the 1870s.

This peaceful country park is the perfect place to go for a quiet stroll. There are giant redwoods here, a rare sight in England and they form a stunning avenue. The park was originally part of the royal Havering Palace estate and Charles I stayed here in the 17th century. Today, it's simply a glorious place for a walk and the London LOOP path travels through it.

Deer sightings not guaranteed! (Although we did spot a few does in the distance.)

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.
