Brick seat overlooking the lake in in The CS Lewis Nature Reserve, Headington, Oxford.

---

The nature reserve is very close to The Kilns, home of CS Lewis, and is said to have inspired him when writing The Chronicles of Narnia. This bench, overlooking the lake, was buried under a mound of earth and vegetation but rediscovered relatively recently, and could have been where CS Lewis sat when working on his books.
