High Beach Viewpoint, Epping Forest

Highlight • Parking

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!

Kings Oak Restaurant, Epping Forest

Highlight • Restaurant

Possible to get some refreshments here. Burgers and hotdogs, cold drinks or coffee. Just about food- don't expect mind-blowing experience. It gives you calories but that's it. Well price is not more than £5 so can't really complain. Hehe

St. Andrew's Church, Much Hadham

Highlight • Religious Site

Much Hadham is one of the oldest and prettiest villages in Hertfordshire. It boasts no less than four Grade I-listed buildings: St Andrew's Parish Church, Much Hadham Hall, Moor Place and the boundary wall at Yewtree Farmhouse at Hadham Cross.

If you're seeking food while on a hike here, there's the Bull Inn or the Hoops Inn at the nearby hamlet of Perry Green, home to the Henry Moore Foundation Estate. There's also a local convenience store on the main Tower Hill road.
