Epping is one of a number of settlements in the area. The settlement listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Epinga is known today as Epping Upland. The town received a market charter in 1253 from King Henry III, giving it the right to hold a weekly market that is still being held today.

Most of the historic buildings in Epping are along High Street. These were built mainly in the 19th century. Due to its rural charm, Epping real estate is sought after by those in London, helping it uphold its value.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
