The thatched shelter and its drinking trough are locally listed by Epping Forest District Council as being of architectural or historical merit. Robert photographed this from a different angle in [[723337]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>Epping Forest is an ancient woodland and former Royal hunting forest which stretches over around 6,000 acres in North East London and Essex. In the 19th Century, London was expanding rapidly and without control. The forest's existence was under threat. The Corporation of London took over the ownership of the forest to protect it from further development. This clearing has views north-westwards into Hertfordshire.
