Hainault Forest was part of the forest of Essex, from the time of Norman kings until deforestation occurred in 1851. For much of that period a small park called Fairlop Oak proudly stood in the middle. An annual fair attracting thousands of people was held there between 1725 and 1900.The eastern boundaries were marked by a series of stones, most of which can be seen today. There are lots of different species of trees in Hainault forest, like ash, beech, black poplar, blackthorn, conifers, crab apple, elm, English oak, hawthorn, horse chestnut, silver birch, bird cherry and many more.
