a Large natural site owned and run by the London borough of Newham.
Although it's not strictly a fishing site but sited in Epping Forest on the outskirts of London this site is ideal for exploring the 6000 acres of the forest and its trails and many pubs.
The Forest has over a Dozen Lakes and Ponds all holding good Tench, Roach, Carp, Pike and Perch etc, and all are free to fish. also there are many rivers all within a 30min drive from the site.
For the non fishing type there are many towns and villages around this part of NW Essex to explore. Waltham Abbey the burial place of King Harold (reputedly) also nearby is Greenstead Church the oldest Saxon church in the UK which is at Ongar (a 30min drive)
London (45 min) is easy to get to via the Central Line Tube (Theydon Bois Station is the Nearest) 2 mile away.
For a trip to London take tube to Embankment station walk to Westminster and take Thames river Bus to Greenwich £20 get a Family return ticket for the 45min sailing each way. its the best way to see London (from the river) and the south bank walkway is full of entertainers on a Sunday all for free, as is Covent Garden. a good Sunday out for very little then back to the peace and calm of the forest at night. (remember to take food or buy from Tesco in The Strand elsewhere it will cost a fortune)
All pitches are within the forest with plenty of room and no set pitch rules. roomy showers and usual facilities on site, but no entertainment. Best pubs are to be found in Theydon Bois, although the nearest is 1 mile away at Debden, as are small shops.
Deer and Badgers are to be seen within the forest also 500 M into the forest is the Deer Sanctuary. Ask for details at reception. its up the track at side of site on the Theydon Bois road.
