The Forest Centre


The Thames Chase Forest Centre is the headquarters of Thames Chase. It is open to visitors throughout the year and is the perfect destination for trips out to the local countryside.

The Forest Centre buildings are the focal point for visitors. A spectacular new timber building houses a café, shop, and interpretive exhibition, and gives access to the Broadfields barn. Outside, there is 56ha. (140 acres) of developing community woodland to explore on quality surfaced paths. And all of this is situated at Pike Lane, Cranham, under two miles from central Upminster.
