Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge

Despite it saying it opened at 10 am it appears that it was 11 am the day I went. It left me more time to look at the centre and appreciate the history of the forest. It was all rather wordy and perhaps not that suited to young people though it was very interesting. They also had an owl exhibition on in one gallery. Worth a visit.

Well planned, beautiful visitor centre with shop, information desk, public conviences and a small permanent exhibition on the ground floor. Shop offers ice cream including vegan options! First floor includes a temporary exhibition space and a large, winding, immersive and interactive exhibit all about Epping Forest that is perfectly set within an amazingly conserved building. So creative and interesting. Right outside the visitor centre is the Tudor hunting lodge, which is also filled with information and interesting information regarding the forest's past royal use. Kind staff. A great starting point for all walks around the centre of the gorgeous forest.

nice, very old building, with the decor of those times, you can enter every room for free, there is a large forest behind the property and many paths for hiking and sightseeing, I recommend wearing waterproof knee-high boots if you go in the rainy season, I highly recommend photographers for the whole family

Very nice place to visit whilst also looking around Epping Forest. Gives you a sense of the history of the area. Also the gift shop has toilets.

Changed since I last visited - rooms emptier but worth a visit for a slice of history
