Situated within the heart of the county, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 50 acres, offering a serene and peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts and visitors alike.

Langley Abbey This is the great barn, with the sticker on it (see model) <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1950299">TG3602 : Langley - remains of the abbey</a> Later in life this barn was converted into a grain processing factory. A chimney was sited behind and it was run via a peat powered steam engine. Inside was a threshing and winnowing machine as well and belts to move the grain to silos. The silos survived into 2010 before being taken out when the barn was converted into a museum. They can be seen in this photograph <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1342980">TG3602 : Langley - remains of the abbey</a> Now a tourist attraction increasing in popularity.

Langley Abbey Langley, a Premonstratensian abbey, was founded in 1195 and dissolved in 1536. The buildings were surrounded by a wet ditch which had three entrances. Some of the buildings are still standing and are included in the present farm buildings. Excavations in 1921 revealed that the cruciform church had a tower at the West end. The presbytery was flanked by chapels extending east from the transepts, and an additional chapel to the north of the north transept. The claustral buildings were arranged to the south and included the sacristy, chapter house, parlour, dorter and its sub-vault and a warming house in the east range, the frater in the south range, and cellarium in the west range. A gatehouse adjoined the north part of the cellarium. The stable, part of the gatehouse, the cellarium with its vaulted undercroft to the north, parts of the west and north walls of the Chapter House and the south-east corner of the infirmary can all still be seen, with the stable and cellarium presently used as a museum which opened in 2010.
