    Vast green space with something for everyone. Play Equipment nicely spaced out, so plenty of room to chill in between and watch them from picnic mats. Views are spectacular too. No cafΓ©s nearby, so worth packing a picnic to keep you going, as the kids won't want to leave.

    Another hidden gem. Been using Claybury for many years now. A lot of investment has taken place in that time that means more sturdy paths better drainage and new exercise and kids play areas introduced. Great if you want to wonder/cycle through the huge forest or stick to the park path that leads to an original Roman road in one direction. Very Dog friendly 🐢

    Lived near here for a long time and blessed to have this on my doorstep, especially during lockdown. Its a semi wild country park so if you're looking for somewhere more civilised with a cafe and toilets, this is not the place for you but it is great for nature walks. Claybury is ancient woodland and open spaces with a large variety of flora and fauna, loads of birds including wild parakeets and i have spotted muntjac deer although they are shy so rare to see them. There are gravelled paths around most of the park although not all of it so in the winter some parts are muddy. There is a great child's adventure playground there, an open air gym nd a picnic area plus a small lake but note there are no toilets or a cafe and all the better for it in my view. I've found it a very safe place to walk, there are always dog walkers to talk to (and all lovely friendly dogs) and people with pushchairs but even so I've walked through the woods on my own and never had a problem. It is also a bluebell wood although the wild garlic is becoming very invasive lately. You can cycle over there but best to stick to the gravel paths. In addition, despite what a review says there are bylaws and you are not allowed to pick anything over there as it affects the bio diversity and they pick and sell the apples to bring in money for the park. Its definitely my favourite park for walking in Redbridge it's so wild but still very accessible and really a beautiful place.

    I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray …

    Small park bordered by Woodford, Hainault & Clayhall. Not much to see, there is a duck pond, small forest and exercise machines Γ²k for a short walk.

    Claybury Park is a true gem that offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As a frequent visitor, I cannot help but share my positive experiences and appreciation for this beautiful park. First and foremost, the park's picturesque surroundings are awe-inspiring. Nestled amidst lush greenery, Claybury Park boasts breathtaking natural landscapes that provide a soothing and tranquil atmosphere. From the moment you step foot into the park, you'll be enveloped in a sense of peace and serenity. I've often found solace in strolling along these paths, enjoying the fresh air and the melodies of birdsong. It's the perfect spot to clear your mind and rejuvenate your spirit. The well-placed benches offer comfort and tranquility, allowing you to truly unwind and connect with nature. Whether you're seeking tranquility, outdoor activities, or a place to connect with nature, this park has it all.

    I love taking a walk with the family here. Plenty of options in terms of the kind of walk you want to have and the possible paths to take. There's an outdoor gym and play area as well. Plenty of runners, cyclists, dog walkers and berry pickers.

    Lovely dense forest, a great adventure playground for kids. Nice spot for a picnic or bug hunting adventure. Recommended for kids, walkers and cyclists. Free parking nearby in residential area and there are some paths that a wheelchair could use.

    Claybury park consists of walk paths, exercise machines, kids play area, a large pond and woods. Great for kids to run around in and ride their bikes. Gates are controlled and locked at sunset. BBQ or fires are not allowed.

    Claybury Woods is lovely and so many people are not even aware it’s there. A superb place for dog walks, nature trails and berry picking in winter with a play area for the children too. Many different types of plants and scents. A lovely place for a stroll or a summer picnic.

    Very peaceful areas with climbing equipment for kids. Small pond looking a bit overgrown. Large areas to explore.

    The park is a hidden gem for families. The vibrant, eco-friendly design seamlessly blends with nature, providing a delightful play experience for kids. The variety of equipment encourages imaginative play, and the lush surroundings make it a perfect escape. Highly recommend it for a fun-filled day outdoors!

    Beautiful, large park with trails through the forested areas and a paved path. There's a wooden playground for children as well as outdoor fitness equipment. Lovely park for a stroll.

    Lovely place, and people, shame some people spoil it with their dogs out of control, and kids setting fire to the forest as well as littering.

    Didn't realize how good this park is, I will be visiting again, no point traveling all the way to Epping forest as the feel is the same

  • 5/5 Omar A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place, didn't explore it all but the bits I've been to was beautiful, even the play ground was nice but shame about the lake (it didn't look like a lake)

  • 4/5 Paula R. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 4 reviews
    Love this park / woodlands. It has a lovely wooden playground with a large adjacent field and outdoor gym. The Woodland area must be our favorite, plenty of trees for children to climb and explore. Building dens is so much fun. Many birds to spot, including green parrots and woodpeckers. Plenty of free parking nearby on Ravenbourne gardens . Couldn't give 5 stars as there are no toilet facilities .

    Dropped in on a Saturday night after seeing a show at the O2. Good music, lively atmosphere and friendly vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you want to party.
