My friends who lives near by took me to this lovely woods! Really enjoyed it. It has a park with a ruin of an old Abbey. There is also a nice cafe. If you drive you can park on the road near by. Worth a visit.

Park is an absolute gem! This tranquil oasis offers a perfect blend of lush greenery, serene walking paths, and historical charm. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll, having a picnic, or simply seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, this park has it all. add any specific details you'd like to highlight.

Took my two boy's who really enjoyed it, lots of climbing and an adventure in the woods!

Great place to keep fit walking up and down the hills. Steep but great

Grown up with these woods, great for exercise and walking dogs, quite a few paths as well so doesn't get too samey, quite hilly though so not always easy.

Great place to walk & take in nature You will not be disappointed

In my opinion the best woodland/ public park in south east London with beautiful woodlands and a pond located in the woodlands and a second pond by the ruins plenty of wildlife such as newts, lizards, slow worms can be found around the area. A chalk pit and fossil pit can be found located in the woods. A abbey ruins can be found located at edged of the woodlands with a coffee and snack hut and toliets located next to the historic site. A play park and outdoor gym can be found on the edge of the woodlands aswell.

Walk in woods late afternoon magical time of day.

This is right on my doorstep and is a local landmark. Great for a picnic and for a visit with the kids. It has a decent a play park. Best of all are the historic Abbey ruins. Kids will love climbing the walls.

Hopefully it will be greener soon

My favourite local park.. I prefer this one over Danson or swanley.. it's just lovely ..

Nice Park for a walk well looked after with a nice garden with flowers riding a mountain bike is nice as well 👍

I remember when the park keep her touched my bum in the woods white on the edge of the Abbey I enjoyed it so much

What's good? - a truly beautiful ruined abbey surrounded by an absolutely beautifully landscaped park, arboretum, and extensive woodland. The Friends Group (FOLAW) works hard to maintain the grounds in conjunction with the estate manager. Saying that, though, the group could be less cliquey and more welcoming to alternative approaches. The safety of the park and wood isn't particularly great. There's a fair amount of antisocial behaviour taking place, even in broad daylight.

Lots to see and do. Refreshments available Clean restrooms. Dog friendly Woodland walks. The Abbey ruins the playgrounds Gym equipment. Etc etc Very picturesque clean and friendly for your pooches.

I love the daffodils in March, but there's also a small area of Lowland Heath (heather) that flowers in August and early September. This is a vanishingly small representative of what was previously a widespread habitat (Heathrow, Hampstead Heath, Bexleyheath). It is precious and even here, threatened with scubby trees and saplings and bracken growing through it

An ancient woodland full of atmosphere and wildlife with the added bonus of a 12th century ruined abbey. A cafe, restrooms, playground and picnic spots with views across London. Well worth 20 mins on the Lizzie line

nice for dog walks can run off in the woods easily though

Great. Shouldn't Google Maps be showing it as a green colour, indicating it is a park, rather than white?

Nice local forest. Perfect to have a nice walk in nature and dog friendly area.
