This aerial view of Bayham Old Abbey also shows the new Abbey which is a private residence. Set between Frant, Lamberhurst and Bewl Water this picture was taken on one of our recent Kent balloon rides from the Hop Farm at Paddock Wood. The original Abbey straddles the county boundary and had a “Kent Gate” and a “Sussex Gate” into its grounds but only the former remains. Check to see if it is open before planning a visit.
