This four-metre-high wooden sculpture is a key lookout point on the North Downs Way, a space for reflection for modern-day pilgrims travelling along the route through King’s Wood, near Canterbury and Ashford. Positioned in the 1,450-acre King’s Wood above Godmersham at the point where Canterbury Cathedral becomes visible to walkers.
The sculpture made from coppiced chestnut directly from the forest woodland faces towards the famous World Heritage Site and the first Cathedral in the UK, both just seven miles away in the distance. The intimate and accessible oratory is an inclusive space open to everyone and offers a place for reflection and rest along the trail.
