    We visited for a foraging experience. Erika was great, so knowledgeable and easy to chat to. We collected lots of wild garlic along with other bits and pieces to take home with us. We had a lovely picnic by their lake including homemade cakes with edible flowers on top! Our dog had a great time too!

    Great camping ground in the South Downs National Park. The ground includes running water, and composting toilet, and will soon include a shower with hot running water. The ground overlooks a small lake stocked with trout, which can also be used for wild swimming. The camping area is flat covered with well maintained grass lawns with space for around a half dozen plots. The farm is stocked with pigs, ducks and chickens, and includes a beautiful wild flower garden. The farm is bordered to the north by a Hanger (a steep sided wooded hill), which is a Wick Wood and Worldham Hangers Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the species rich ancient woodland. The top of the lower field is home to a young cider orchard which has uninterrupted views over Selborne Common SSSI. The hosts are a friendly and helpful family.
