A few miles out of London and it becomes quite rural. As seen just outside the town of Epping in Essex.
The Route 179 in Whitehall Road will pass three parts of Epping Forest in just over a mile; on the nearside Whitehall Plain & Reed's Forest & Hatch Forest on the offside.

Converted to monochrome and given an enlarged newspaper finish.
This is the birthplace of Mary Ball (Washington), the mother of George Washington, the first President of the United States.
The original house was constructed in about 1680. The present day (ca. 1800) Epping Forest house in Lively, Virginia incorporates parts of the original house.
Mary Ball was born in approximately 1707, to Joseph Ball and Mary Johnson Ball. Mary Ball married Augustine Washington in 1731. Their first son, George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, at Popes Creek, Virginia.
Mary Ball Washington died on August 25, 1789.
This house is currently privately owned.

Epping Forest is a 2,400-hectare area of ancient woodland, and other established habitats, between Epping in Essex to the north, and Forest Gate in Greater London to the south, straddling the border between London and Essex. It is a former royal forest, and is owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.
For nearly a thousand years people have been grazing cattle on Epping Forest. It is part of the commoner rights to be able to do so. Currently the only breed of cattle being grazed in the forest are English Long Horn.
Just one more to show the size of the beech trees in Epping Forest and the colours their leaves produce in autumn
...actually having checked the map this isn't Epping Forest, instead it's another area of forest around the corner from the new house in Woodfood Green. Probably one of the nicest areas I've lived.
Of the few hundred or so shots I took yesterday I knew this was the best of the bunch the moment I landed on it. Ticks the boxes for me.

The lack of winds and warm temperatures have ensured that autumn in the forest is very colourful. Point a camera anywhere and the colours are amazing.
Although my last two nights have been more than awful. I got up at dawn to do some research on the exact place where we set up camp.
We are not far from a lake . So it was not difficult to locate where we are on the map. And this is the article I just found:
The Suicide Pond of Epping Forest
I immediately think back to my first dream... "I'm fucking starting to freak out...". I then hear movement in the tent and I close my computer by reflex...

Bien que mes deux dernières nuits aient été plus qu'affreuses. Je me suis levée à l'aube pour faire des recherches sur l'endroit exact où nous avons installé le camp.
Nous ne sommes pas loin d'un lac... Il n'a donc pas été difficile de localiser où nous sommes sur la carte. Et voici l'article que je viens de trouver :
L'étang suicide d'Epping Forest
Je repense immédiatement à mon premier rêve..... "Je commence à flipper....". J'entends alors le mouvement dans la tente et je ferme mon ordinateur par réflexe.....

Beech trees in part of Loughton Camp, an Iron Age ring fort, dating to c. 500 BC. Part of the earthwork can just about be seen beyond the furthest righthand tree.
Still deep in the archives, this shot's from 1984. A bunch of us used to go and camp there from time to time between about 1981 and 1985, which was seemingly legal in those days - the forest wardens would appear on little trail bikes and sell us a camping ticket for a nominal fee and were happy as long as we didn't light fires or leave litter behind. I'm guessing this has changed now as I haven't seen a tent in the forest in decades - though tbh I never saw anyone else camping there back then either.
