General
- Small glamping site on a working farm in the South Downs National Park
- A half-hour walk to Devil's Dyke; 25 minutes' drive to Brighton
- Ensuite units with private outdoor space and stunning views
Whether it’s setting off for a cycle or a day at the seaside, the Foot of the Downs is a sound little base in the South Downs National Park. This West Sussex glamping site has lots of choices for getting out and about - just outside of the village of Fulking, it’s close to the Devil’s Dyke National Trust site and 15 minutes' drive from Shoreham-by-Sea or about 25 minutes from Brighton.
This working farm is in the South Downs National Park, so naturally, there are some fab paths around. The Devil’s Dyke Trail and the South Downs Way are both a short walk or ride away… and upon your return, bikes can be stored safely in the shed, with locks available to hire if you need them.
More options for days out include a couple of golf courses close by, castles or gardens. And if you don’t feel like travelling at all, the local pub is only a short stroll, half a mile away.
Back at the farm, all the cosy units have their own ensuite bathroom (with toilet, shower and sink), plus a comfy bed and a kitchen area with utensils provided. Each one also has its own private outdoor space too, with a picnic bench and log seating from which to admire the stunning South Downs views.
Firepits can be hired on site for an extra fee, a welcome addition to an evening of drinks and snacks as the sun goes down. Pick up anything you need at shops in Steyning or Henfield (both around 10 minutes away by car).

Local attractions
Wet your palate a little… with Albourne Estate (10 minutes’ drive) so close by, you’ll be well-set to get wrapped up in a wine tasting tour around the vineyard. Fish and chips are more the kind of thing you’ll get your hands on in Brighton (25 minutes), good fuel for the beach, Lanes shopping area, pier and Sea Life Centre, depending on what kind of day out you’re aiming for.
Shoreham-by-Sea beach (15 minutes) is another of those seaside destinations – perhaps dabble in some windsurfing or kitesurfing while you’re here – but if you’re after somewhere handsome inland, there’s the Sussex Prairie Garden (15 minutes).
Of course, one of the closest spots to the site is the National Trust’s Devil’s Dyke (half an hour’s walk) and for those of who you who are wondering exactly what that is, it’s a prime beauty spot for walking in the South Downs.
Handily, historic sites are not at all hard to find either. There’s the Norman remains of the Bramber Castle (10 minutes’ drive) or you could go for a picnic by the Jack and Jill Windmills (15 minutes).
