Abbey Wood is known for its caravan park located amongst the Abbey Woods. The woods boasts a park and a football pitch, and the neighbouring Bostall Gardens and Bostall Heath have lots of sports facilities. Part of the woods is a site of special scientific interest because it has fossils going back as far as 23-66 million years ago.
