This view is from the high ground just behind the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge.

Whilst walking across Chingford Plain towards Bury Wood we heard two Skylarks - one on each side of us.

Looking over Chingford Plain, towards Connaught Water and High Beach, on the edge of Epping Forest.

This view is from near the stone obelisk behind Butlers Retreat and shows the path to Connaught Water.

This is about a half mile from Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge in one direction and about one and a half miles from High Beach in the opposite direction.

There is easy access by road with a car park next to the lake and there are many other car parks throughout the forest.

A view, looking east, across to Chingford Plain and Bury Wood from next to the Warren Wood public house on the Epping New Road in Buckhurst Hill.

In the middle distance, somewhere off to the left, is the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge with Chingford plain beyond that and Bury Wood on the skyline.
