Part of a full day's very scenic walking enjoying the landscape but at the time was unaware tht the farm actually has a history dating back over 1,000 years, with evidence of human settlement from the Mesolithic and Bronze Ages. It was once owned by the Knights Templar and has been home to various farming families over the centuries. And we found Wildflour Café as well which was very nice.

Great little piece of history. Parking across the road, which can get very busy!

I was there as part of a volunteer group helping the ranger remove invasive Cotoneaster from the chalk grassland, which is a rare habitat now.

Super interesting place but no one was present, the National Trust info boards were hidden in the barn which is a shame because it was fascinating.

Great sunny day out with my partner! Found via national trust website, parking can be quite difficult.
The walks and views around the farm were beautiful! Also had a cafe which had great food and drinks!
Rated 4 stars as we expected the farm to be more open to the public would class this as a walk next to a private farm. Would still recommend as a day out

Parking not great as it is a working farm. Didn't notice any toilets, but then I didn't required the use. No disabled parking . It's all uphill for most of your trip. A walk round the fields to gain a view if Sussex is recommended but it is uphill. A walk round the farm itself is worth it and to look at the donkey wheel. There is a cafe too but didn't use that. Worth a little visit.

Wild downland that is great for flowers and butterflies. Very limited parking off road opposite and none for visitors at the farm itself. Make time to call at the Wildflour Cafe in the farm buildings

Omg. I love this little farm. This National Trust property with campsite, is located about five miles north of Brighton, right in the heart of the South Downs National Park, along the South Downs Way and a stone's throw from Devil's Dyke
