Walk Description:

This walk follows the southern section of the Epping Centenary Walk. Starting by walking across Wanstead Flats the route takes us from the urban fringe of Epping Forest, through the narrow section by Highams Park lake to the 16th Century Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge.  We go across open spaces and through woodland - there will be some muddy sections so come prepared with sturdy shoes and your poles.

Our longer Explorer WALX are open to all, exploring beautiful areas in and around London. Routes are planned with breaks and the opportunity for refreshments but this isn't just a ramble; we'll encourage the good posture and motivation to push yourself as we do in all our WALX.

If you'd like to benefit from using Nordic walking poles, we advise you attend a Learn to Nordic WALX workshop. Walkers without poles or with trekking poles are very welcome.

Monthly Payment clients £10; Pre-paid Credit clients £16 - price adjusted at payment.

Outward Travel by train:   Manor Park is on the Elizabeth Line - meet through the ticket barrier at the front of the station.
