Brother Percival sits on his bench admiring the scenery and giving hikers a bit of a jump when they approach. He's been here since 2007, an example of a pilgrim on the Pilgrim's Way, a long-distance footpath connecting Winchester to Canterbury. There's an information board nearby showing what the area might've looked like when ol' Percival was strolling.

If you want to hike the "Pilgrim's Way" not just as a long-distance trail for pleasure, but also consciously as a pilgrim, you may find inspiration here:

Hiking

The Pilgrim's Rest bench was unveiled in 2007 alongside the Pilgrim's Way near Harrietsham. There is also a nice picnic bench to sit down.
