A Walk In Epping Forest – London Woodland – Nature Walks In London

Living in east London, I’ve heard of Epping Forest many times. It’s been on my list of places to visit for ages, but I never got round to it – until recently. On a summer Sunday in August, I fancied a mini trip. Not a full day adventure, but somewhere to enjoy the nature for a few hours. I looked at Google Maps and decided it was time to finally explore Epping Forest – or at least a small section of it. It was a lovely walk and I will definitely go back there in other seasons. Here is how it went!

A few months ago, I posted about a 3D wooden flowers set I assembled, which I enjoyed much more than the LEGO Botanicals.

Whitstable To Margate Walk – England Coast Path Trail – Very Long Walk Near London By Train

Today, I’m taking you on another long walk along the English Coast Path. This time, I covered the section between Whitstable and Margate in Kent.

This trip is from the beginning of August, when the days were still long, and we were in the middle of what felt like a never-ending heatwave and draught. This walk was 35 kilometres long and allowed me to check off a section of the English Coast Path that I hadn’t done before. Here’s how the trip went!

It feels like summer this year has been a million years long, and writing the Spring 2026 update is just a distant memory.
