About this venue

The land south of Bentley Priory house now forms the nature reserve. It is open all year round and welcomes all visitors, human and wild. All types of visitors will find something to interest them here. There are two hard surfaced paths; the Deer Path, which runs north from Old Lodge way gate to Priory Drive gate, and the Weald Path that runs west to Weald gate. These paths form part of the Bentley Priory Circular Walk. The grassy spaces and open glades adjacent to these paths afford many possibilities for picnics and sunbathing, while more adventurous visitors will see many uncommon plants and animals in the quieter areas.
