Lesnes Abbey Ruins

Monks' Garden at Lesnes Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Structure

Restoration of the area around the abbey and woods includes a new visitor centre and cafe, alongside the re-creation of the Monk's Garden. Originally this was one of the area's only infirmaries where they would have grown a selection of herbs to ward off disease and heal injuries.

Data Tree — Lesnes Abbey Woods

Highlight • Monument

One of the interesting features that crop up as you cycle around the woods; this informational tree sculpture is near ‘The Clearing’ at a crossroads of trails and hills. The ‘data’ mentions various local or historical events and people and points towards those locations.

The Chalk Pit

Highlight • Natural

Couldn’t see any chalk as it’s all overgrown.

Tip by

The Green Man Sculpture

Highlight • Structure

There are six stunning wood sculptures by Tom Harvey (better known as Carver Harvey) which are situated throughout the woods and park. Harvey uses a mixture of chainsaws and chisels to create large artworks out of tree stumps and trunks. I haven’t found them all yet!
