Epping Forest
Epping Forest is an area of ancient woodland in south-east England, straddling the border between north-east London and Essex. It is a former royal forest, and is managed by the City of London Corporation.
It covers 2,476 hectares (6,118.32 acres)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Epping Forest )〕〔Dagley, Jeremy. "Pollarding in Epping Forest", in ''Premier Colloque Européen sur les Trognes, Vendôme, 26, 27 et 28 Octobre 2006'' (in English) (Online )〕 and contains areas of woodland, grassland, heath, rivers, bogs and ponds, and most of it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Stretching between Forest Gate in the south and Epping in the north, Epping Forest is approximately long in the north-south direction, but no more than from east to west at its widest point, and in most places considerably narrower. The forest lies on a ridge between the valleys of the rivers Lea and Roding; its elevation and thin gravelly soil (the result of glaciation) historically made it unsuitable for agriculture.〔"Only with the middle Saxon settlement did the Forest ridge become used in any organized way and, by the thirteenth century, historical records show that large areas were being systematically cleared of trees" (Colin A. Baker, Paul A. Moxey, Patricia M. Oxford, "Woodland continuity and change in Epping Forest" ''Field Studies'', 1978 ((on-line text )).)〕 It gives its name to the Epping Forest local government district which covers part of it.
