Epping Upland is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Epping Forest, in Essex, England. Sitting on high ground just west of the ancient woodland, it overlooks a patchwork of arable fields and hedgerows and lies close to the market town of Epping, within easy commuting distance of London.
Characterful features include a medieval parish church, several listed cottages and a village green, and the area has a strong conservation character; historically agricultural, the local economy now mixes farming with commuter and service occupations. Community life is quietly centred on the church and village hall, and there are pleasant walking routes that link the hamlet to the wider Epping Forest landscape.
