Holly Farm

Welcome to the south downs national park

Peaceful site in West Sussex on the edge of a small village
In the South Downs National Park; Chichester 35 minutes' drive
A mile from two local pubs and a village shop

Holly Farm is a relaxed campsite in a peaceful location out of sight of any houses in the West Sussex countryside. Surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the South Downs National Park and within easy reach of the coast, this spot is a great pick for those after family-friendly breaks with plenty of choice in terms of days out. The pitches here are a mile from Kirdford village centre, where there are two popular local pubs and other low-key attractions like the village stores and a historic church. The small cathedral city of Chichester can be reached within about 35 minutes by road, while the bright lights and boho vibes of Brighton are just under an hour away in the other direction. Getting around is largely so easy because of the site's proximity to the A272, which links up a number of major local destinations. This pet-friendly site has excellent access to bike and hiking trails and is spread over a gorgeous 20-acre field dotted with old English oak trees. The facilities here are simple, with only basic portable toilets provided; properly looked-after barbecues are allowed.
