Journey Through the Enchanting Oak Trail: Nature’s Hidden Gem within London!

Epping Forest in Essex has a rich history, dating back to the Iron Age. There are stories of Roman battles, Norman invaders, and notorious highwaymen. The famous highwayman Dick Turpin used a cave in the High Beach area of Epping as a hideout for many years.

Due to the forests’ proximity to London, it’s known as a burial area for murder victims, with many of the Krays victims believed to have been buried here.

Countless paranormal reports over the years lead many to believe it’s the UK’s most haunted forest.

*****
The Oak Trail is a circular walk, starting and finishing from the town of Theydon Bois. It’s super easy to get to from London: take the Central Line to Theydon Bois, just 30 minutes from Liverpool Street or 40 minutes from Oxford Circus. There’s also some parking on Forest Drive for anyone who prefers to come by car.

At 6.6 miles, the Oak Trail is the longest of Epping Forest’s 9 waymarked walking routes. That being said, the trail isn’t particularly challenging, so it can be walked in 2-3 hours. If you add in a 30-minute lunch break and pint/coffee at the end, you’re looking at about 4 hours in total.
