What a nice little site. The owner is very friendly, he let us know where the walks are, there is a bridle path that runs next to the site, and from there you can access many more public footpaths. One path goes up to the church, not the prettiest of churches, but the graveyard has many very old headstones which make for interesting reading. Anyway, the site itself is a square field to one side of the farm and outbuildings. It hadn't been mown because of the lateness in the season, they close next week. The site is very peaceful, very little road noise apart from motorbikes roaring up the A507. There are red kites patrolling the area and also a buzzard, many pheasants, owls (there are two that patrol the hedgerow next to where we were pitched, and many other birds to watch. There is of course fresh water and an elsan point in a fenced in area which is next to the entrance. There is a rustic feel about the farm, Michael, the owner, is endeavouring to encourage various species of birds to visit so there are areas where there are plenty of wild flowers. In fact, the site itself is covered in clover, apparently it looks pretty when in flower and encourages bees (he has a beehive in a corner somewhere). The bridle way to the left goes to the pub, the Moon & Stars (turn left onto the road and walk along for a short while) and also to the Mill End plant nursery. The other direction goes into the next village of Redhill (no pub there now) We will hopefully find a weekend to re-visit in the summer. Nice to find somewhere so quiet and where you are left to enjoy yourself without children running around since it is adult only. Recommended
