A heritage walk is being held to teach people about the history of holidays taken in Epping Forest.

Steve Denford of the Heritage and Information team at Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge will lead a group on June 9, talking about the uses of the forest from the late Victorian times until today.

The two hour session will leave the hunting lodge on Ranger’s Road, Chingford, at 2pm giving the group enough time to talk about the Londoners who flocked to the forest for Bank Holiday weekends and summer trips.
