You'll be visiting and supporting a 1000-year-old farm in the South Downs National Park. We care for 54 acres of Wolstonbury Hill including 3 Bronze Age earthworks. The Bronze age peeps knew what they were doing - they command some of the best views in Sussex!

 

Preservation of this precious chalk grassland with its outrageously abundant meadow flowers  is a priority for us.  Welcome guests who share that appreciation!  However we also care about food security and have planted a top fruit orchard with walnuts and cobnuts too!  Nature spontaneously provides blackberries, sloes.. which are shared.  The Barn Owl have their own boxes (although they still enjoy the big barn) and skylarks sing high above the tussocky terrain. Come join them! Even if your singing isn't so good.

Camping

Popular with discerning campers, there are generous pitches individually mown for a little privacy.  A new immersive 5 day retreat option in the Skyline Cabin and a cosy 16' Shepherd's Hut.  We limit visitor numbers to allow guests their own sense of space and to reconnect with nature. If you're bringing a car, there's limited parking, so please book a space (including for drop offs!)

 

Heading into our fourteenth year, with an eclectic mix of guests, we also welcome Duke of Edinburgh groups to stay and experience an off-grid, back-to-nature adventure with zen washing facilities! 

 

Book your camping stay on our partner website, Wolstonbury Dreaming.
