We are located on the edge of Epping forest in Essex.

Near to the M25, M11 and A10, Upshire is easy to get to. The pub is situated on Horseshoe Hill and offers unparralleled views over Epping Forest and North London.

There are many activities to indulge in locally ranging from quiet country walks for all ages, wildlife (many birds & deer) watching to mountain biking, horseriding and orienteering.

Epping Forest is the largest public open space in the London Area, a remnant of ancient hunting forest protected by two pioneering Acts of Parliament passed in 1878. It forms a 19km green strip from deep in the east of London at Forest Gate northwards to Epping in Essex, mainly woodland but also including open ground, heathland and many ponds, the listed Wanstead Park, now an excellent public park but formerly private parkland attached to a manor; and historic structures such as the Tudor period Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge near Chingford and Iron Age earthworks. Much of the Forest is open access with many opportunities for walking, and it is easily reached by trains, buses and the Central Line Underground.
