Among the most infamous of Epping's residents is Dick Turpin, and 18th Century highwayman, who along with his gang of malevolent men, left a trail of robbery and rape wherever he travelled.

Legend has it that Boudica, the beloved first century Celtic queen with a fondness for slaughtering her enemies en masse also roams amidst the trees.

While it may take you a while to seek out some of the ghosts, there is one who will seek you out if you're patient.
