Epping Forest Long Loop

Description

This run from Epping offers a varied route through the heart of Epping Forest. The run follows a mix of broad forest tracks and narrower woodland paths, with some sections feeling remote and quieter than others. There’s a good mix of terrain underfoot—mainly firm, but expect areas of uneven ground and the possibility of mud after rain. The route includes a few steady climbs, nothing too sharp, but enough to make it a decent workout over the distance. Much of the run is under tree cover, providing shelter and a sense of seclusion, although there are occasional open clearings and glimpses beyond the forest.
