Epping Forest & Knighton Wood

Epping Forest is one of the man attractions of Buckhurst Hill. Epping Forest is of national and international conservation importance and home to over 50,000 ancient pollard trees and 100 lakes and ponds. The forest is free to visit and is open 365 days of the year. When Queen Victoria visited Chingford on 6 May 1882 she declared “It gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time” and it thus became “The People’s Forest”. The City of London Corporation still manages Epping Forest in strict conformity with the Epping Forest Act.

Knighton Wood is a relic from the formal gardens of the Buxton Estate, so like Wanstead Park, there are still lots of recognisable landscaped features to spot on your visit.
