Earl's Path Pond

Highlight • Forest

The serene Earl's Path Pond makes for a gorgeous place for a rest or snack stop. Almost always muddy, have it in mind!

Tip by

316 m

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.

Ancient Oak Tree in Epping Forest

Highlight • Natural Monument

Epping Forest was once a royal hunting ground. Today it's the largest public open space in London. You can run for 12 miles (19.3 km) from Manor Park in East London to Epping in Essex almost all off road in wonderful woodland.
There are nine waymarked trails within the woods, all make great runs if you fancy following them, or just head out and try the trails.
