Broadfields Barn


Leave the modern Forest Centre through the glazed link, and you step back in time to enter the stunning Broadfields Barn. This seventeenth century, Grade II listed Essex Barn is one of the best preserved in the London area.

Constructed from elm beams originally cut from local hedgerows, the Barn is a stunning contrast to the Forest Centre building. Just stand and admire this magnificent cathedral-like building, and consider how a farmer created it from local trees 400 years ago.
