Also known as Lost Pond

Strawberry Hill Pond is located within Epping Forest and provides a peaceful retreat perfect for a rest and picnic following a forest walk. The pond is enveloped by conifers and sweet chestnut trees and has a very tranquil and pleasant feel to it. There's a little wooden bench next to the water where you can sit and soak up the atmosphere.

Epping Forest, straddling the border between Greater London and Essex, is renowned as one of England's most notable forests. Its ancient woodland harbours approximately 55,000 species of ancient trees, representing some of Europe's oldest living plants. Historically, it served as a hunting forest, reserved for the exclusive pursuit of the royal family and their guests. Today, it stands as a biodiversity hotspot, boasting a diverse array of wildlife including deer, foxes, rabbits, and badgers. Notable landmarks within its expanse include Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, Chingford Plain, and the village of High Beach.

This is on the Epping Forest Centenary Walk - an easy day walk is from Chingford to Epping, with plenty of time to sit and admire this beautiful location along the way. Great in June/July with all the young wildlife around!
