Epping Forest
Epping Forest is a forest on the border of Greater London, and Essex. It is very long, but very narrow. It stretches over 18 kilometres (11 mi), but at no point it is more than 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) wide. The earliest archeological finds date from the Mesolithic period. There is a Roman villa rustica in the forest.
