High Beech Tea Hut

Highlight • Forest

High Beech Tea hut is a great place to hang out, drink excellent (cheap) tea and hearty bread pudding, and chat with other cyclists. Tends to be a lot of MTBers up there, but everyone is friendly. It's always funny to see someone spattered in mud emerge from the forest!

The tea is excellent and on a sunny day there's a lovely view of the forest and beyond, and lots of dog walkers etc. Well worth a stop before your final run back (all downhill!) back to London

Stop by this large, grassy clearing in Epping Forest for excellent views of the countryside beyond London and the M25.

There's a pub serving food here (The Kings Oak), and usually an ice cream van. There's also public toilets with a water tap outside which is really handy for top-ups on hot days!

Strawberry Hill Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
