  • Three-acre West Sussex site close to the South Downs Way
  • A 15-minute drive to Lewes and Brighton; Bluebell Railway 20 minutes
  • Peaceful back to basics site; village and pub 15 minutes' walk
Weavers is a three-acre family-run site in the West Sussex countryside, a few minutes’ drive from both Hassocks and Clayton. This is a particularly fine spot for walkers and cyclists, as it’s just a short hop from the South Downs Way, and with lots of other lovely walks around too – including to the Jack and Jill windmills (and the neighbouring pub of the same name) about 15 minutes away. You can also walk to Hassocks (across the fields) in about 15 minutes, or to Ditchling, a pretty village with a museum. If your feet need a bit of a rest, perhaps take the train from Hassocks down to Brighton (or drive in 15 minutes) for a day by the seaside instead, or take a 20-minute drive to the Bluebell Railway. After all that, set off back to your peaceful site for a quiet evening spent sitting by the fire and looking up at the stars (wood and kindling can be bought on site, but fires will only be allowed if the weather isn’t too dry). This is a tents-only site and doesn’t allow cars on the pitches, so all should be nicely quiet and safe for all guests. (Wheelbarrows are on hand to help lug gear to the pitches, and site staff can often be around to help too… even if that just involves making you a refreshing cup of tea.) This is a back to basics site that doesn’t have showers or electrical connections, but it does have a toilet with a small basin for hot and cold water. Dogs may stay for free, but will need to be kept on a lead because of the sheep grazing next door and the chickens happily roaming free around the site.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Lovely spot in an extended garden field and located at the foot of the downs which was idyllic. Camp fires welcome and already setup - and though the rules say you have to buy their logs, the owners assured me that wasn’t true and we could use our own which was great! Facilities were simple but all you needed.

Disliked Road noise noticeable but not enough to disturb.
