Santa Croce is a small church within the former Benedictine complex at the lower entrance to Saint Francis Wood. It offers a built counterpoint to the woodland path and gives the descent a historical destination. The church belongs to the FAI-managed visit; ask staff about the level access route rather than assuming it is freely open.
