Recreation at Tylers Wood

 

A small grassland hilltop and valley side sloping down to a bridleway connecting across the M25 to the north and abutting Tylers Common to the west. Surprisingly, with its long history as arable land, Tylers Wood has never been part of this adjacent common. From the top the views are excellent. At the picnic spot you can see right across the Docklands to the City of London, with its distinctive ‘gherkin’ and on into the West End and the London Eye. All makes for a pleasant site for sitting and contemplating, or for taking a gentle stroll with your dog around this lightly wooded hillside. Relax and enjoy the views. With links direct to Tylers Common and a bridleway bridge across the M25, Tylers Wood is an important part of the Thames Chase jigsaw.

How to get there:

Tylers Wood is in Thames Chase Community Forest. Upminster is the nearest town or village.

From Harold Wood drive along Warley Road towards Great Warley. The car park is on the left just before the bridge across the M25.
