ITS TOPOGRAPHY. 33 



of the Green Monkham's Lane leads in 500 yards 

 to an isolated block of forest known as Lord's 

 Bushes, conspicuous for its picturesque oaks 

 and beeches, and dense undergrowth of hollies. 

 A well-defined track crosses this from the end of 

 Monkhanis Lafic to Buckhurst Hill Station, at its 

 north-east corner, but an hour may be well spent 

 in exploring its beautiful glades. Another track 

 from the same point crosses it diagonally in a 

 northerly direction to the top of Buckhurst Hill. 



ROUTE C. 



WOOD STREET STATION TO CHINGFORD. 



5^ miles. 



On leaving the station turn immediately to the 

 left by Upper Walthamstow Road and follow the 

 lane which leads up the hill to the eastwards and 

 enters the Forest near St. Peter's Church, 400 

 yards from the station. This point may also be 

 reached from Leytonstone by crossing the Leyton 

 Flats as in Route B, but keeping somewhat more 

 to the left, and crossing the Eagle Road at Forest 

 Rise. From here follow the wide grass glade to 

 the north as far as the Allotments. These, together 

 with the land belonging to the East London Water 

 Works, constitute a barrier across the route which 

 necessitates a detour to the right as far as the 

 high road. I have endeavoured, hitherto without 

 effect, to persuade those who are responsible for 

 these enclosures to allow the public right-of-way 

 to be restored.

 corner of the Forest opposite the gate of the Allot-
