A little history
Epping Forest — once a royal hunting forest — was saved from development by the Epping Forest Act of 1878 and given to the public by Queen Victoria. The ancient pollarded hornbeams are up to 1,000 years old. Epping town has been a market centre since the medieval period.
Epping Forest is genuinely extraordinary — the ancient pollarded hornbeams are like nothing else in England. High Beech tea room for a forest stop. The Epping-Ongar heritage railway. The town market on Mondays.
