Welcome to Greensted

Greensted is a small village located in the county of Essex, England. It is known for its historic church, which is believed to be the oldest wooden church in the world. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, was built in the 9th century and is a popular tourist attraction. The church is made entirely of wood, with the exception of the roof, which is made of lead. The interior of the church is simple and rustic, with wooden benches and a small altar.

Apart from the church, Greensted is also known for its beautiful countryside and scenic walks. The village is surrounded by fields and forests, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The nearby Epping Forest is a popular spot for picnics and outdoor activities. The village also has a number of quaint pubs and restaurants, serving traditional English food and drink.

Greensted is a peaceful and charming village, with a strong sense of community. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and there is a real sense of pride in the village's history and heritage. The village is a great place to visit for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, and for those interested in history and nature.

Epping Forest Theydon Loop
Travelling West From Theydon Bois, Go Past All The Homes And Park In The First Car Park On The Right. Car Park Is Close To The Fast Road, So Be Careful If Your Pup Is Over Excited. Go Through The Gate, Turn Right And Then Take The Left Path. If You Take A Left At Every Path/Junction It’S A Lovely Walk Through The Forest. Over Babbling Brooks And Streams And Logs And Trees For Your Pups To Jump On. Quiet First Thing In The Morning, Can Get Busier At Weekends. But Lots Of Room For The Dogs To Be Off Lead, Away From The Road. Can Get Muddy And Lots Of Squirrels. Only One Poo Bin At The Start/End By The Car Park. Lovely Route.

River Stort
Park In The Moor Hen Pub Car Park. Walk In The Direction Of The Pub And Just Keep Going, Or Stop At The Pub First! It's Approximately A Four Mile Round Trip If You Only Walk To The Next Pub, The Harlow Mill. Once You Reach The Harlow Mill Cross Over The Road Bridge And Make Your Way Back. You Can Walk Further, The River Has A Path Along Side For Miles Or You Can Cut It Shorter, There Are Several Pedestrian Bridges. If You Want To Veer Away From The River There Are Public Foot Paths But Be Aware They End Up Coming Out Onto A Road, Usually Without Pavement. Once You Leave The Pub Area There Is Very Little Foot Traffic. 47 Burntmill Ln Harlow Lancashire CM20 2QS 7.88 miles

Pishiobury Park
This Is A Lovely Walk, It's Very Open Although There Are Some Wooded Areas. I Have Never Seen It Crowded Even On A Warm Summer Sunday. Some Of It Is Cow Field So For Those Parts It's Best To Have Your Dog On A Lead Although There Are No Signs Up Urging You To Do This. If You Want To Walk Further You Can Follow The River Stort For Miles, (A Number Of Pubs On Route). Within The Actual Park There Are Some Rolling Hills So I'm Not Sure About Wheel Chair Access. There Is A Railway Track Which Is Not Fenced Off Across The River And Along The Far Edge Of The Park, But You Don't Really Have To Go Anywhere Near This. Bonks Hill Lancashire 8.02 miles Just Outside Harlow, Essex, Heading North.
