What visitors say
Super team. School trip for Y4 kids with an orienteering workshop and a nature trail in the woods. Parents were following. There is also a nice souvenir shop and an art exhibition inside the visitor centre. Next to it is a lovely cafe and a cross the street a car park.

Great volunteering for Epping Heritage Conservation Trust. Getting fresh air and finally knowing why cutting certain hawthorns near a tree that needs more light is important to their survival. Looking forward to participating actively to more projects of this kind and I shall be happy to conduct workshops in 2D to 3D 360 and macro photography

A great asset for the area - we visited the gift shop, and sells all things championing the local area, details of walks, information about Epping Forest and bits for kids. The View also has a community room available to hire, and toilets & baby changing facilities - which is super useful on an active family day out! :)

Very interesting and informative. Lay out well with space for displays. A lift for mobility issues. A little gift shop. Outside space to where you find the public toilets. Parking is limited and only the disabled and permit holders parking. However you could park next door or over the road . Ringo app
