"It is, of course, the great forest of Epping that givs an air of serenity and tranquillity to a piece of England the Industrial Age might so easily have spoiled."

"The Venetian Bridge and the fine cliff walks are a handsome background for a wealth of entertainment which most visitors find irresistible."

"Beyond are greens where pink chestnuts, may trees and copper beeches flaunt themselves gaily."

"A narrow-minded nonconformist."
