A few miles out of London and it becomes quite rural. As seen just outside the town of Epping in Essex.

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.
Taken directly opposite The Bell Hotel, Epping, which has been in the news a lot recently.

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

Epping Forest District is a local government district in Essex, England. It is named after the ancient woodland of Epping Forest, a large part of which lies within the district. The council is based in the town of Epping.
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.
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.

A shot from 8 years ago, newly reprocessed.
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.

The valley of Cuckoo Brook in the southwest of the forest near Chingford. The large trees in this shot are all hornbeams, with an understory of holly.
First the forecast predicted mist, then sunshine and then cloud but looking out saw the mist coming around 7.30 this morning. Hotfoot into the forest.
