The Friars in Aylesford, Kent. The Priory is home to an order of Carmelite Friars, originally found in 1246. Truly part of Historic England (For more check out our playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwaSkfP77ubbtNs_hdOn9DTFv0PgNZSqi)

Will will show you how to get to the Friars in Aylesford by road and by train.

Our visit will start at the Friars duckpond, before leading onto the Great Courtyard, with its beautifully restored Elizabethan buildings and lead you through the Water Gate to the patio next to the River Medway.

We'll pass back through the Great Courtyard to the main shrine at the Friars, respecting those who have come to pray. Next to the shrine is the Gatehouse, leading to the Peace Garden at Aylesford Priory.

We now stroll past the Holy Water fountain, along Rosary way. Here we are lucky to catch the 30-year-old Magnolia tree in full bloom. A little further and we arrive at the tranquil gardens behind the shrine.

We end our visit with a stroll up to the Friars Tearoom and Giftshop set in a 17th-century thatched barn.
