Walking
Why not make Woodside Cottages your base for a walking holiday? Our farm is close to a number of footpaths and within easy reach of:
and a vast number of coastal walks. We have plenty of details available of walks of different difficulties with footpaths that run almost past our door.
Visit this link to see what's right on our doorstep - these are pictures taken along the footpath to Fletching (leading to the local pub!)

Walks
Over two thirds of East Sussex is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Walks can include woodland, rivers, rolling downland and wildlife areas such as wetlands, dunes and shingle.
The link below takes you to the database of walks containing dozens of choices – you can list walks by length or difficulty, or use the interactive map to show walks near here.
You can then print off a detailed map and list useful businesses such as nearby pubs, restaurants and shops.
Camoys Farm Walk
The proximity of the open water at Barcombe Reservoir, added to its location within the Ouse Valley, means that the area has abundant wildlife year round. However, to see the site is at its best, a visit in spring, summer or autumn would be recommended.
Many of the fields around this site are part of a large Countryside Stewardship agreement with measures such as grass margins around arable fields, grassland recreation and hedgerow restoration being implemented.
Copwood Farms Walk
Just a couple of miles away this is an opportunity for riverside access as well as linear walks which link into exisiting public rights of way (PROW).
The access bounds the River Ouse, and links into a riverside circular walk along the Iron River.
Copwood Farms are extensively and organically managed, and support a number of Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species, including several species of bats, great crested newts, water voles, farmland birds and otters.
