Wonders of Epping Forest - Loughton Camp & Ambresbury Banks
A walk round the prehistoric earthworks in Epping Forest - Loughton Camp and Ambresbury Banks built between 800-500 BC. Length: 10.32
My first walk of 2020, and it seemed apt to start the new decade at the tomb of King Harold at Waltham Abbey. The aim of the walk was to climb a ridge of high land near Monkham's Hall that I've looked at many times. A comment on a previous video mentioned a First World War anti-aircraft gun emplacement on the hill near Kennel Wood - so that's where I headed. A truly magnificent start to the new year and the new decade. Length: 16.31
