FAIRLOP WATERS COUNTRY PARK - LAKE, MEADOWS, WOODLAND TRAILS, followed by socialising with cheap food and drinks in a convivial atmosphere at the New Fairlop Oak Pub.
Within this very much leisure focussed country park in East London, we take a circular walk along its tidy paths which exhibit the stark contrasts of the manicured lawns of the golf course against the dramatic boulder park and the wild backdrop of the country park and lakes, all of which are contained within a large area which was once famed for its magnificent Great Fairlop Oak. Clink on this link to read more.
WALK START POINT: Fairlop Station (Central Line - Zone 4). Fairlop station is on the Hainault branch of the Central line. Look for Ken with Kens Events Flag or Badge outside the station.
WALK DISTANCE: Approx 4 miles.
WALK END POINT: Fairlop Station (Central Line - Zone 4).
NO EASY STOP OUT POINTS.
No large dogs or small children please.
Scroll down to see Disclaimer and Notice of Risks.
Fairlop Waters Country Park covers an area of 120 hectares (300 acres), has a wide diversity of habitats including lakes and ponds, woodland and grasslands, and the UK's largest man made boulder park.
History: The whole Fairlop area was originally part of the historic Hainault Forest. In the 1750's an open air fair was established around the mighty Fairlop Oak tree and each season over 100,000 people would attend the Fair from all over London. The mighty Fairlop Oak tree was rather abused and by 1805 became hollow at ground level. People would often picnic inside the tree and light fires. One such fire set the tree alight and it burnt for 24 hours. Gales in February 1820 finally brought "Fairlop" crashing down.
Much more recently the area served as an RAF airfield in both world wars and then became gravel pits before being returned to nature.

BREATHE FRESH AIR: Give up the city streets for a day and improve your overall fitness levels on a green walk. Explore and enjoy London's abundant and sometimes secret green spaces, forest areas and surprising surrounding countryside. Meet new people and make some new friends. Walking is a great social activity. Visit parts of London, unknown to most people, that you would not otherwise have a reason to see.
Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. We always end the walk at a pub with a convivial atmosphere where the socialising can continue. Be sure to join us in the pub for the whole experience!
COST of EVENT: Free on production of a Kens Events Membership Card. Otherwise a £5 meetup organiser's contribution will be collected from attendees who are unable to show the Ken's Events Membership Card.

NOTICE of RISKS applicable for all walks:
Please dress appropriately for weather and terrain conditions.
Only wear good sturdy shoes, with ankle support, and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and able to walk for at least 8 miles. This walk is suitable for the average experienced hill walker. Expect some hills. Do not attend this walk if you do not fit that description or if you have a medical condition (especially heart and/or lung conditions) that may impact upon your capability of completing the walk.
These walks are city walks and countryside walks where all the usual risks of injury during such walks apply resulting from interactions with road traffic, joggers, cyclists, e-scooters,other members of the public, animals (farm, domestic and wild), plants (allergic reactions), uneven surfaces, including portruding tree roots and potholes and there may be low overhanging branches.
In these walks we cross busy roads, use towpaths alongside water, bridlepaths, country lanes and sometimes ill defined paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Some tracks may be muddy and slippery, and conditions may be wet and icy. The walk leader is not and does not purport to be a professional guide, or a medical professional, but is instead a like minded individual who also enjoys hill walking and who is familiar with the intended route.
Do not attend this walk unless you accept and consent to the above risks. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.
