Description: | Epping Forest is the largest public open space in the London area. Almost 6,000 acres in size it stretches a massive 12 miles from Manor Park in East London to just north of Epping in Essex. It is an area of national and international conservation importance with two thirds of it being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, as well as being popular for recreation and enjoyment. In the second half of the 19th century large areas of the Forest were being enclosed for development, with little care for commoners' rights or general recreational needs.
