  • Small family-run East Sussex site close to Sedlescombe
  • A 10-minute drive from Battle; 20 minutes from south coast beaches
  • Dog-friendly site next to Brede High Woods for walks
Being out in proper countryside is fabulous, of course – but so is being able to walk to the nearest village for a drink when you want to. Ticking both of those boxes in one excellent location is Seven Acre Woods, a quiet woodland site in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Stay here and you’ll be on a friendly site that’s all set up to help you make the most of outdoor life – there’s a no-music policy throughout so that the place stays nicely peaceful for resident wildlife and for your fellow guests. Facilities, meanwhile, cover all the essentials without going overboard: guests have access to showers, toilets and charging facilities, plus a play area where the kids can let off a bit of steam. No doubt you’ll want to spend a fair amount on site here, perhaps strolling in the woods (with a dog by your side if you wish) or tending a barbecue for an alfresco dinner. But there may well also be times when you fancy heading out – and that’s easily done here, as you can walk directly to the local village of Sedlescombe along public footpaths, including one that takes you through the bluebells and wild garlic patches of Brede High Woods. Lots more of East Sussex’s best days out are close by while staying at Seven Acre Woods – you might like to head down to the coast, visit the area’s castles, learn all about the goings-on of 1066 in Battle or simply stroll around pretty villages finding farm shops and pubs…

Local attractions

This part of the world is rich indeed with history from across the ages. Perhaps most notable among nearby destinations is Battle (10 minutes’ drive), for the abbey and the site of the Battle of Hastings. There’s also much to enjoy at places like Bodiam Castle (15 minutes) or National Trust sites Bateman’s (25 minutes) and Scotney Castle (half an hour). The East Sussex coast is not far off either, and it’s got several splendid places to check out. Hastings (20 minutes) is a good place to start for a buzzing seaside town with classic cliff railways, crazy golf and great contemporary art at the Jerwood Gallery. The dunes of Camber (25 minutes) are popular for a family day out, but if you fancy something a bit quieter have a look at Winchelsea or Bexhill-on-Sea (both 20 minutes). And if you don’t fancy venturing that far? Take a walk through the Woodland Trust site Brede High Woods, by the site, or pay a visit to Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard (five minutes’ drive/an hour’s walk) for a tour, a tasting or just a drink from their Cellar Door Bar.
