Epping Forest Challenge Walk

The Epping Forest Challenge Walk is a guidebook to John Merrill’™s 21 mile circular challenge walk through Epping Forest. This challenge walk is designed to be completed in a day – between 7 and 8 hours – and the route follows good level paths across fields, beside the River Lee Navigation and through Epping Forest. The walk is divided into four stages that range from 4 to 6 miles – Stage 1: Waltham Abbey to Obelisk farm; Stage 2: Obelisk Farm to Ambresbury Banks; Stage 3: Ambresbury Banks to Chingford Green; and Stage 4: Chingford Green to Waltham Abbey. Each walk section is accompanied by a route map and provides route instructions, walk distance and estimated walk time. Information on public transport, parking facilities, available maps, pubs and cafes and places of notable interest is also provided. There are also sections on how to complete the walk, the countryside code and suggested walking equipment. The guide is accompanied by maps, illustrations and photographs.
