Epping Forest is a magnificent expanse of woodland far larger than Hatfield Forest and much more  diverse.  It is not in the Stort valley, but stands on a high ridge overlooking the Lea Valley.  It is included here simply because of its proximity and because it is quite superb.

The best guide to Epping Forest is by Ken Hoy M.B.E..  Ken was  the founder of the influential Friends of Epping Forest.   The Epping Forest Act of 1878 was designed  to protect Epping Forest for the enjoyment of all.   In 1978, a Centenary Walk was devised and since then, Friends of Epping Forest and other walkers meet annually at Manor Park to walk the fifteen miles to Epping town.
