Lesnes Abbey Woodland Walk

Event Information

Join the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods for a guided walk through our ancient woodlands on a gravel escarpment. Famous for its chestnut trees, the woods are a diverse habitat with hazel, birch, oak, and field maple.

Once you are in them, it feels as if you have left the city behind. There is around 40 meters of ascent involved on trails.

A walk – starting and finishing in the same place.
