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.

As well as the beautiful, far reaching views, an interesting obelisk sits atop Pole Hill. The hill lies on the Greenwich Meridian and the obelisk was erected to indicate the direction of true north from the transit telescope in the Greenwich Royal Observatory. Zero longitude is 19ft (5.79m) to the east of the structure.

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.
