The Clearing
A hidden pocket of peace in Lesnes Abbey Woods.
Tucked away just beyond the noise and rush of London, The Clearing is a place where the city fades, and something softer takes its place. This is where the air feels different. The pace shifts. And you begin to remember a gentler rhythm, your own.
Here among the trees, time opens up. Whether you come for quiet reflection, gentle movement, to learn something, or simply to be still, The Clearing holds space for you. It’s not just a patch of woodland, it’s a place to reconnect, re-wild, and remember what it’s like to feel light again.
Everyone who steps into The Clearing leaves with the same sense: something here is different. More than just nature on the edge of the city, it’s a kind of homecoming. A breath of wild calm. A reminder that the natural world, and your place in it, is always waiting.
