Overview

A brisk walk through the southern part of Epping Forest visiting the bluebells of Wansted Park.

We start from Leytonstone station on the Central line and will visit Wansted Park, Wansted Flats and Leyton Flats before looping up to the North Circular and back to Leytonstone station (and a pub for those who would like to join me). There are cafes on route for takeaway lunches, but it would be an idea to have a packed lunch in reserve just in case.
