About Oak Trail

The trail forms a loop beginning and ending in the village of Theydon Bois. It combines a few nature trails, farm tracks, and village footpaths, which means that you'll certainly come across other people along the way, including lots of dog walkers and maybe a few mountain bikers. The first part of the trail is goes through fields and gentle hills, while the second part is more of a hike through the woods. Most of the trail is well-marked with yellow arrows, but the beginning is quite confusing—follow the directions below, and if you get lost, just find your way to the B1393 and follow it to the cricket club west of Bell Common. From there, the rest of the trail is easy to navigate.
