Epping Forest

Epping Forest – The best walks and walking routes in Epping Forest

This is a simple to follow guide to over 30 of the best walks and walking routes in Epping Forest, including easy short walks, family walks and good long walks.

Easy Short Walks

Easy walks that are suitable for all of the family, mostly up to 5 miles which should take a leisurely 2 to 3 hours to complete. Epping Forest can be quite muddy so it is advisable to wear a good pair of walking boots or waterproof walking shoes. Facilities can be quite limited in Epping Forest with High Beach being the most central location for refreshments and toilet facilities.

Moderate Longer Walks

These walks are typically between 5 to 10 miles long and can be quite challenging. These types of walks can take between 3 to 5 hours to complete at a good walking pace. Epping Forest has a myriad of pathways so always make sure you have a paper or digital map with you and take refreshments and plenty of liquids with you to keep hydrated. There are plenty of Epping Forest Fallow Deer, Muntjacs and other wildlife to be found on these walking routes so it is always worth keeping as quite as you can to avoid scaring them off before you get to see them!

Good Long Walks

These walks are typically over 10 miles where you can really immerse yourself in Epping Forest and try some of the lesser known walking routes and hidden treasures, taking in as many as you can on a day long walk. Always be fully prepared for good long walks and long distance walking routes taking plenty of fluids, refreshments and plenty of plasters just in case.

Long Distance Paths in the UK - The 1066 Country Walk

Long Distance Paths in the UK - The 1066 Country Walk

The 1066 Country Walk is a 50 kilometre (31 mile) walk that traverses the floodplains of the River Rother and Cuckmere popular with long distance walkers.

The 1066 Country Walk starts at Pevensey Castle and finishes at Strand Quay, Rye. In September 1066, William, Duke of Normandy brought his army to Pevensey, Sussex and went on to defeat King Harold in the town of Battle in what many people know as the Battle of Hastings. You can follow in the steps of William the Conqueror taking in historical sites on a generally low level walk through ancient towns and villages, over hillsides and through woodland, and passing oast houses and windmills. The route includes the Normans' landing point at Pevensey and the battle site, and the castles at Pevensey and Herstmonceux. The 1066 Country Walk then continues along to Rye, a hill top town famous for its smuggling associations, Winchelsea is one of the best-preserved planned medieval towns (or bastides) in Britain. There are spectacular views from the Winchelsea area over the beach and the English Channel and inland across the Brede levels to the wooded Weald. The remote settlements of Brownbread Street and Penhurst are particularly quaint and make for an enjoyable visit.

For those wishing to break this East Sussex walk down into more manageable walking routes the 1066 Country Walk passes through Rye, Doleham, Winchelsea and Pevensey all of which can be accessed by train from Ashford and the South Coast. The walk also passes through Battle, accessible by train from London within 90 minutes.
