“Ancient woodland, a rare breeds farm and a fishing lake on the edge of East London”
A Green Flag “Top 10 UK parks” People’s Choice winner, with plenty to fill a day: the free-to-enter Foxborrows Farm, the Hainault Express miniature train ride (£3 per person), a large lake with summer boat hire, and an adventure playground renovated in July 2023 — wooden, with climbing frames and a tube slide plus plenty of climbing, balancing equipment and tunnels, suited to toddlers through teens. Woodland walks throughout, plus regular family nature events including bushcraft sessions (check the Hainault Forest website for what’s on). The 1856 Café sits near the car park and toilets. Parking is cashless (RingGo).
