Hainault Forest Country Park covers more than 300 acres, with a fishing lake, a rare breeds farm and many walks and bridleways. Nature conservation is promoted here and a range of events and activities are offered throughout the year. The forest first opened to the public in 1906, and today there are parts of it in three London boroughs. The area in Essex is ancient woodland and some heathland, that of Havering is home to the golf course, and the area in Redbridge is secondary woodland and grassland. The Woodland Trust now manage the Essex area of 319 acres, and Redbridge are developing their area as a country park.
