No sightings of Hedwig or her owlish chums yet, but visitors regularly spot badgers, pheasants, foxes and deer (even the occasional white hart) at the wildlife-packed Owlsbury Park.
Despite its serene, pastoral surroundings, this site is very handy for shops, pubs and eateries, all about a mile away. Owlsbury Park is good for fishing (small extra charge applies); the park’s attractive coarse fishing ponds are stocked with carp, roach, tench and perch, or there’s the Crowborough Angling Club lake next door. Anglers must have a rod licence unless they are hiring tackle/beginners and therefore supervised.
There are grass and hardstanding pitches, and the essential facilities include toilets, shower and washing-up facilities, solar-powered lights, solar electric hook-ups, water and chemical waste points.
The entrance and amenities are secured with coded padlocks.

For those who fancy ditching the car for a bit, the site is close to public transport links: trains and buses from Crowborough (a mile and a half away) go to Tunbridge Wells, London, Lewes and Brighton.
Crowborough village has plenty of amenities, including an indoor swimming pool and gym, and a miniature railway. The area is great for golfers, with a number of courses nearby.
The charming spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells (to give it its full title) is eight miles from Owlsbury, and well worth a visit for a stroll round the specialist shops in the Georgian Pantiles, a taste of the water from the Chalybeate Spring, or a trip on the steam railway. The town also has plenty of food and entertainment options, including a multiplex cinema.
Other potential day trips include a jaunt to the coast at Eastbourne or Brighton; to Lewes, home to a castle, gardens and the biggest Bonfire Night celebrations in the country; the National Trust gardens at Sheffield Park and Wakehurst Place; the William Morris interiors at Standen; Ashdown Forest, home of Winnie the Pooh; or a steam through the Sussex countryside on the historic Bluebell Railway.

From the A26 Uckfield, head north to Crowborough. Take the right turn 0.7 miles after The Crow and Gate pub signed to Millbrook Industrial Estate. Go straight on, over the golf course, over the small roundabout, down the hill and past the fish and chip shop, antiques shop and vets on the left, then after the Plough and Horses pub, go over the narrow bridge and turn immediately right to Hadlow Down Rd. The site is 1.2 miles on the right.
From Hadlow Down (A272), the site is 2.5 miles on the left on Crowborough/Jarvis Brook Road. Do not turn into Dogetts - this is a satnav error. The site is half a mile further up the hill on the left.
From Rotherfield-Crowborough Road B2100, take the Hadlow Down/Buxted Road (after Tesco). Go 0.25 miles and turn as indicated above.
Beware of the satnav error; do not turn into Doggetts Drive.
