High Beach is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Church of the Holy Innocents, which dates back to the 19th century.

One of the main attractions of High Beach is the Epping Forest Visitor Centre, which is located in the heart of the village. The centre provides visitors with information about the forest and its wildlife, as well as offering a range of activities and events throughout the year. The forest itself is a vast expanse of ancient woodland, covering over 6,000 acres, and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Visitors can explore the forest on foot, by bike or on horseback, and there are a number of well-marked trails to follow.

The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Church of the Holy Innocents, which is a Grade II listed building. The church was built in the 19th century and features a number of interesting architectural features, including a stained glass window designed by William Morris. Other historic landmarks in the village include the High Beach Chapel, which dates back to the 18th century, and the Loughton Camp Iron Age Fort, which is located on the outskirts of the village.
