Talk:Epping Forest

how do you date the age of a woodland? The Iron age ramparts would point to some settlement activity, connected with forest cleaning, at least in Iron age, if not earlier? --Yak 12:21, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

Your point is a good one, Yak - undoubtedly considerable tree clearance must have gone ahead when building the Iron Age forts. I spent a year doing voluntary work in the forest and during this time was told by many different people that an "ancient woodland" was defined as one that had been continuously wooded since the last Ice Age. --Lancevortex 12:00, 5 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

In cultural references does the book Lair really talk about a White Stag? Buck is the correct term for a male fallow deer. (you don't get red deer in the forest)

Mountain biking

Do we really need 4 external links to mountain biking websites? --Lancevortex 15:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
