Question 1

How do I get there by public transport?

Accepted Answer

The closest train stations are:
Billingshurst (8.3 miles)
Horsham (8.9 miles)
Christ’s Hospital (9 miles)
There is a taxi rank outside Horsham Station. Buses are not recommended. It may be possible to arrange lifts to train stations.

Question 2

How do I drive there?

Accepted Answer

We provide a car park for walkers off Worthing Road (A24 access road), Dial Post, RH13 8NQ.
This is next to the Wilding Kitchen and shop. Car sharing is encouraged.

We kindly suggest a donation of £5 per vehicle. There are four 7kw Pod Point charging stations and 6 accessible parking spaces.

Question 3

Is the event accessible to all?

Accepted Answer

Unforunately our summer workshop venue is in an old barn, with step access only. If this is acceptable, there is disabled access to a toilet, and some of the paths have hard surfaces. We are hoping that the autumn and winter events will be accessible to wheelchair users.

Question 4

Where will we be walking?

Accepted Answer

There are 16 miles of walks at Knepp within the rewilding project, with five tree viewing-platforms, close to public footpaths, offering panoramas of the surrounding countryside, and a bird-hide overlooking Knepp Lake. We will be keeping to public footpaths at all times.

Question 5

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Knepp can be muddy, and the great British weather unpredictable! We will be outdoors for the much of the day, whatever the weather (unless it is deemed unsafe conditions). So please be prepared - wellies are handy! There is good advice on the Knepp website here: https://knepp.co.uk/plan-ahead/

Question 6

Can I stay the night?

Accepted Answer

You can stay overnight at Knepp. Options include camping and even a treehouse. Book well in advance. Find out more at https://knepp.co.uk/stay/ There are various B&Bs and private accomodation in the surrounding villages, or you might consider Brighton, Worthing or Horsham as nearby options.

Question 7

What other facilities are there?
