Gravel trails leading from Havering Country Park in the east, towards Hainault Forest in the west. This track follows the local authority boundary and skirts to the north of the golf course.

Great view from the edge of the woods across heathland to the London skyline.

Hainault Forest is an ancient forest home to an array of beautiful plant and animal species. There's a canopy of oak and hornbeam and a burst of seasonal bluebells in spring, accompanied by an impressive display of around 158 bird species! The views from within the forest of the surrounding area are fantastic. There's also a boating lake, miniature henge and café to explore.

You'll find the Boating Lake in Hainault Forest Country Park, a little slice of peaceful, green paradise away from the urban sprawl. The London LOOP trail goes past it, so if you're walking and fancy a chance at seeing the area from the water, why not stop and take a boat out? You can hire traditional rowing boats by the hour. If you're happy on land, the lake is a nice place to stop for a snack.

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.

Lovely gravel track through the forest in Havering Country Park, lined with giant redwoods. Look out for the amazing view of London at the end, too.

Amazing at sunset! The way down through cedar trees to this view is also worth doing!

Ride slow through the stables, or try a different route in/out of Havering through the Havering Country park
