Training in Woodford

Rugby, football and the forest.

Woodford's list is mostly team sport. Wanstead RFC and Bancroft RFC both play rugby here, Woodford Town Football Club adds football, and there are sessions for young children too. For your own training, Vision RCL runs Ashton Playing Fields on Chigwell Road, which has its own gym, and Bancroft's School has a sports centre. Woodford Green Library & Gym on Snakes Lane West is the other council option.

Much of Woodford is part of Epping Forest, so long trail runs start on the doorstep, and a shared path follows the River Roding down to Ilford. Both are better with someone who'll turn up on a cold Sunday.
