- A 15-minute drive to Chichester; 10 minutes to the nearest beach
- Farm tours available; 10 minutes' walk to tea rooms and a farm shop
With Hampshire to its west, West Sussex to its east, the coast a little way south and the South Downs National Park, Sindles Farm is in a splendid spot for a break that’s packed full of variety.
From this location just outside the village of Aldsworth it’ll take you about 10 minutes to drive to the beach at Emsworth, 15 minutes to Chichester and 20 minutes to Portsmouth or the many events of the Goodwood Estate. Walks are definitely on the cards too, whether you’re up for a long national park hike or the short 10-minute stroll across the field to the tea rooms and farm shop at Stansted Park.
Also close by is the village of Westbourne (five minutes’ drive), which has a small supermarket, a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway and three pubs to keep you fed and watered. There’s no need to haul firewood back to the site though, as logs are provided for the firepits that come with all accommodation units. Please note that fires may not be possible in certain weather conditions. Every pitch on site also has access to shower and toilet facilities, as well as a drinking water tap.
Pick this site for your break and you’ll be staying on a small, friendly site on a working farm where free-range chickens stroll around and you may be able to spot lambs in the right season. There’s always something going on, and the owners are very happy to answer questions or give tours to give guests a better insight into the farming life.
