Places to see in ( Epping - UK )
Epping is a market town and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of the County of Essex, England. It is located 3 miles northeast of Loughton, 5 miles south of Harlow and 11 miles northwest of Brentwood. Although it is the terminus for London Underground's Central Line , the town retains some elements of rurality, being surrounded by Epping Forest and working farmland. Epping has many very old buildings, some of which are Grade I and II listed buildings. The town also retains its weekly market which is held every Monday and dates back to 1253.
Epping has been twinned with the German town of Eppingen in north-west Baden-Württemberg since 1981. Although the once-famous Epping Butter, which was highly sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries, is no longer made, the well-known Epping sausages are still manufactured by Church's Butchers who have been trading on the same site since 1888.
Epinga, a small community of a few scattered farms and a chapel on the edge of the forest, is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. However, the settlement referred to is known today as Epping Upland. It is not known for certain when the present-day Epping was first settled. By the mid-12th century a settlement known as Epping Heath (later named Epping Street), had developed south of Epping Upland as a result of vigorous clearing of the forest for cultivation. In 1253 King Henry III conveyed the right to hold a weekly market in Epping Street which helped to establish the town as a centre of trade and has continued to the present day (the sale of cattle in the High Street continued until 1961).
Epping, as it stands today, has grown as a favoured town of residence for those who work in London. Its market still brings shoppers in from surrounding villages and towns every Monday. Perhaps the most prominent building in Epping these days is the District Council's office with its clock tower, designed to bring balance to the High Street with the old Gothic Revival water tower at the southern end, built in 1872, and St John's Church tower in the centre. The centre of Epping on and around the High Street is a designated conservation area.
Epping's increasing popularity with young professionals and families, along with the Government's planning policies (as applied by the District Council) has led to the current situation: Epping is experiencing the biggest threat to its rural status yet and a number of sites (the largest being St. Margaret’s Hospital) are being proposed for redevelopment as new housing estates.
Epping lies 19 miles (30.6 km) northeast of the centre of London towards the northern end of Epping Forest on a ridge of land between the River Roding and River Lea valleys. Epping is north of the small village of Theydon Bois. Most of the population live in the built up area centred on and around the High Street (B1393) and Station Road. About a thousand people live in the village of Coopersale which, while physically separated from Epping by forest land, is still part of the civil parish. A few dozen households make up the hamlets of Coopersale Street and Fiddlers Hamlet. Much of the eastern part of the present parish was until 1895 in the parish of Theydon Garnon.
Epping is served by a number of bus routes, serving many surrounding towns and villages including; Thornwood Common, Harlow, Abridge, Waltham Abbey, Ongar and Brentwood. The bus services are either commercial services, or operated under contract to Essex County Council. Epping is served by Transport for London rail services, and is the eastern terminus of the Central line of the London Underground.

1 Day as a Tourist in Maldon, Essex, England | UK Travel Vlog
Welcome all to my brand new UK Travel vlog, 1 Day as a Tourist in Maldon!
Join me as I explore the nooks and crannies of this fantastic Essex Town, from the brilliant locals to the rich history.
Starting at the old Maldon Railway I take you on a journey uncovering the history of the great battle of Maldon between the Saxons and the Vikings. From there I accost some local ladies down a back street to talk about the famous Fat Man of Maldon and show you where he is buried. After popping in to the brilliant woof and co I take you around Hythe Quay and Promenade park for a museum tour and to meet some proper Maldon characters!
Let's Go!
And here's some information on our sponsor for this video, Woof and Co:
At Woof & Co. we try to be different from your regular pet store and believe dogs should be fed high quality food. After all they are family members and as much as we all love a fast food takeaway occasionally, you wouldn’t feed your child it everyday, so why should your dog be any different? We stock a wide range of natural, healthy treats, from our popular sausage bites to hairy deer legs. Products like our sausage bites are sold loose by weight so you can try as many or as little as you want and all of our other natural treats are sold individually so you can create your own tasty selection for your dog.
We love having dogs come in store and visit us and customers are welcome to try on any of our trendy coats, collars and harnesses on their dog.
We’re open 7 days a week and you can purchase online too on our website.
Why not make a day out of it to come visit us with so many high street shops and food establishments being dog friendly and the beautiful Maldon Promenade is a fun place to go for both children and dogs.

Places to see in ( Loughton - UK )
Places to see in ( Loughton - UK )
Loughton is a town and civil parish in the Epping Forest District of Essex and for statistical purposes only forms part of the metropolitan area of London and the Greater London Urban Area.
Loughton is located between 11 and 13 miles (21 km) north east of Charing Cross in London, south of the M25 and west of the M11 motorway and has boundaries with Chingford, Waltham Abbey, Theydon Bois, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill. Loughton includes three conservation areas and there are 56 listed buildings in the town, together with a further 50 that are locally listed.
The earliest structure in Loughton is Loughton Camp, an Iron Age earth fort in Epping Forest dating from around 500 BC. Hidden by dense undergrowth for centuries it was rediscovered in 1872. Loughton's growth since Domesday has largely been at the expense of the forest. Expansion towards the River Roding was arrested owing to the often flooding marshy meadows, encroachments into the forest to the north and west of the village were nevertheless possible.
Loughton is bounded by Epping Forest to the west and the Roding river valley to the east. After the Epping Forest Act of 1878 prohibited any further expansion of the town into the forest, the forest and the river have formed two natural barriers constraining any expansion westwards or eastwards.
There are several distinctive neighbourhoods in Loughton mostly identifiable by the building types incorporated during their development:
Old Loughton refers to the original settlement which grew up around Loughton High Road.
Debden occupies about 650 acres/225 hectares to the north east of Loughton.
Debden Green is a hamlet set around an ancient green in the north-east corner of the parish.
Goldings Manor is a modern estate of mostly large detached houses built in the grounds of 'Goldings Manor'.
Great Woodcote Park is a modern housing estate at the southern end of Loughton, built on the site of the former North Farm.
Little Cornwall is a hilly area of north-west Loughton closest to Epping Forest characterised by steep hills, weatherboarded houses, narrow lanes and high holly hedges.
Roding Estate or South Loughton is the area south-east of the London Underground Central line.
Junction 5 (south) of the M11 motorway linking Cambridge to London is accessed at Loughton's eastern boundary. The junction does not permit entry to north-bound carriageway, nor exit southbound. The M11 was constructed in a number of phases beginning in the 1970s and finally opening in the 1980s. Loughton is served by both Loughton tube station and, further north-east, Debden tube station, both served by the Central line of the London Underground since 1949. The current Loughton station was opened in 1940, but both the line and stations existed before that; the railway line dates back to 22 August 1856, when the branch from Stratford was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway.

Walking The Essex Way from Manningtree to Harwich (4K)
Manningtree to Harwich along the Essex Way shot in 4K
This walk along the Essex Way starts at Manningtree on the border between Essex and Suffolk on the banks of the River Stour. The Essex Way is an 81-mile long distance path that starts in Epping and ends in Harwich. Our walk follows the final section of the Essex Way.
We walk along the Stour to the village of Mistley before turning in inland to Mistley Heath. The path then takes us back along the banks of the river through Wrabness before once again turning inland across wheat fields and past a windmill to the village of Ramsey. Here we turn away from the Stour Estuary towards the North Sea passing through the village of Little Oakley to the coast just south of Harwich. The final stretch of our walk takes us past the Dovercourt lighthouses and Beacon Hill fort to the end of the Essex Way at the lighthouse in Harwich Old Town.

1 Day as a Tourist in Chipping Ongar, Essex | UK Travel Vlog
Welcome all to 1 Day as a Tourist in Chipping Ongar, Essex!
In this UK Travel Vlog I start off at the oldest wooden church in the world, built around 1060. Historic graffiti, a 12th century crusaders grave are some of the incredible finds here!
From the church I take you into the town which is absolutely packed full of history and local characters, from world famous explorers to a powerful Nobleman.
We get to know more about the brilliant locals, and I scoff an incredible Pie and Mash before delving into the history of Ongar Castle.
Finally I take you around the Epping to Ongar Railway where I learn about the tragic death of a local Priest who left the Railway Station bound for America, but sadly never returned...
Enjoy!

Chipping Ongar Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 20 miles northeast of central London, is the town of Chipping Ongar.
The name 'Ongar' is derived from Old English for 'grass land' or 'grazing land'. The settlement became known as Castle Ongar in reference to the Norman motte and bailey castle that once stood here. It was later renamed Chipping Ongar, with 'Chipping' being an obsolete Germanic word referring to the market that was hosted here from 1287, or possibly earlier.
At the heart of the town is the Church of St Martin. This dates all the way back to the 11th century (presumed to be early Norman), and is Grade I listed.
In 1838 Scottish missionary, explorer, and physician David Livingstone moved to Chipping Ongar for a period of just over a year, having been sent here for probationary training towards becoming a missionary. Livingstone would become famous, not only for his missionary work, but for expanding the known map of Central Africa, and being the first European recorded to have discovered the Victoria Falls, which he named after Queen Victoria.
In 1865 the railway arrived in Chipping Ongar courtesy of the Great Eastern Railway. In 1949 it was taken over by the London Underground, becoming the eastern terminus of the Central Line. This remained the case up until 1994 when the station was closed, and Epping became the Central Line's new eastern terminus. In 2004 Ongar station was reopened as a preserved railway before closing again in 2007, but later reopening in 2012 as a heritage railway station with trains to Epping running on special occasions. Regular direct buses to Chipping Ongar are available from Epping, Harlow and various other nearby locations.
