The forest is characterized by its dense canopy of mature trees, dominated by oak, beech, and birch.

Nature enthusiasts and hikers can enjoy a network of well-maintained trails that meander through the forest, providing an opportunity to explore its hidden treasures. The trails offer a chance to witness the changing seasons, with vibrant autumn foliage and colorful spring blooms.

Old railway bridge The former Bishop's Stortford - Braintree railway crosses a byway. The Flitch Way cycle path, mostly using the railway route, does not cross here, but ramps down from the embankment on the other side of the bridge. It then passes under the bridge and uses the byway for the rest of the way into Great Dunmow.

Off-roaders' wallow The public byway here is a magnet for off-roaders, who, fortunately for other users, confine their more extreme fun to tracks off the byway, between the byway and the River Chelmer. This is perhaps the most extreme bit I found. It appears to be rather deep.

Footpath to Little Dunmow The path skirts round The Moors to the left. In these parts such a name implies a pretty damp area. The mapped route of the public path actually passes through this, but there is no trace of anybody trying to follow the route. There is a fair bit of optimistic routing of public paths through marshes around here, fortunately most have reasonable ways round, as this.
