About

Rural East ward encompasses the northeastern section of Epping Forest district, characterised by its expansive tracts of protected forest and agricultural land. The area is defined by scattered settlements and small villages set within a landscape of woodland and fields. It forms a significant part of the Metropolitan Green Belt, with land use primarily focused on farming and forestry. The presence of the M11 motorway provides a major transport route along its western edge.

The ward includes the village of Theydon Bois, which has a direct Central line tube connection to London, creating a distinct commuter dynamic within the rural setting. Large country estates and historic properties are interspersed with the forest clearings. This area is central to the conservation of the ancient Epping Forest itself, with numerous public footpaths and bridleways crossing its terrain.
