St Leonard's Forest

Highlight • Viewpoint

St Leonard's Forest is an extensive woodland that affords cultural history, wildlife spotting opportunities and peaceful walking. The 12 square mile (31 km2) Forestry Commission woodland is part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. According to legend, a French hermit lived in the woodland in the 6th century and slayed a dragon amid the ancient trees. It is after him, St Leonard, that the forest is named.
