Nice example of a Tudor hunting lodge. Well preserved and open to the public for free. The chap there said about 80% of the timbers are original. It’s on 3 levels with some displays and info boards throughout. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Well planned, beautiful visitor centre with shop, information desk, public conviences and a small permanent exhibition on the ground floor. Shop offers ice cream including vegan options! First floor includes a temporary exhibition space and a large, winding, immersive and interactive exhibit all about Epping Forest that is perfectly set within an amazingly conserved building. So creative and interesting. Right outside the visitor centre is the Tudor hunting lodge, which is also filled with information and interesting information regarding the forest's past royal use. Kind staff. A great starting point for all walks around the centre of the gorgeous forest.
Tudor history, dress-up, good location AND free admission; a great place to visit. A self guided tour card is provided on request as you enter then three floors of history await; the ground focussing primarily on Tudor food & the original use of the Hunting Lodge; the first floor has Tudor dress-up; & the third usually has a hands on exhibit concerning construction methods and materials for the Hunting Lodge. Sadly the dress up & construction exhibits were not on display this visit. Good for your own self interest and for kids, particularly when combined with a visit to the adjacent Epping Forest Information Centre. A garden backing onto Epping Forest offers outdoor space, perhaps to enjoy a picnic, & the Butlers Retreat is next-door for coffee, cake & snacks. The volunteer/team have been very supportive when visiting with children with special educational needs & disabilities SEND, making visits accessibly, however there are stairs that may be difficult for those with limited mobility. There is a limited amount of paid parking at the front of the information centre and across the road - free for blue badge holders.
Despite it saying it opened at 10 am it appears that it was 11 am the day I went. It left me more time to look at the centre and appreciate the history of the forest. It was all rather wordy and perhaps not that suited to young people though it was very interesting. They also had an owl exhibition on in one gallery. Worth a visit.
Built by King Henry VIII for Queen Elizabeth I over 500 years ago a wonderful little example of British history. It's free and full of social history. Set on 3 floors no lift or wheelchair access to 1st and 2nd floors. On the ground floor is the kitchen, on the middle floor the dining room and top floor viewing station of "The Hunt" across the clearing in Epping Forest. Check online for opening times. I take ALL my friends and guests there...donations are always welcome. There's parking AND it's next door to Epping Forest information centre, Royal Forest Hotel and Butlers Retreat. Great morning or afternoon out for the family.
It's OK. Free to get in. First and second floor should be made more interesting. Rather bare. Not wheelchair friendly
I visited here in September 2022 as part of walking the London Loop around London. This Tudor lodge is free to visit and includes a visitors center and shop with information about the area.
Very nice place to visit whilst also looking around Epping Forest. Gives you a sense of the history of the area. Also the gift shop has toilets.
Looks like a pretty run down building but possibly has a lot of history. Wouldn’t go out your way to visit only this though
Very interesting building and well worth a visit but not worth going out of your way for as a little sparse inside. Interior appears to be kept pretty much as it was originally, but unfortunately the Tudor beams on the outside of the building appear to have been painted over with white paint spoiling the appearance.
