Knepp
is a 3,500 acre (1400 hectares) Estate in West Sussex just
south of Horsham - to see the location map click
here.
The
Estate has been owned by the Burrells for
over 220 years. At its heart,
overlooking Knepp Lake, is a castle built by
the architect John Nash, which remains the
family home.
Until
recently most of the land on the Estate was
devoted to traditional arable and dairy
farming but in 2001 we shifted our focus entirely
and embarked on a series of regeneration and
restoration projects aimed primarily at
nature conservation and a less intensive way
of meat production wildland
project.
On
this site you can access information about
all our activities, including
forestry
field
sports, recreation
and education,
as well as the ongoing
Knepp
Conservation Projects,
what they’re about and why we’re doing
them. Our

News
link has information about events in the
wider locality as well as on Knepp itself.

We have a thriving Polo Club; visit our web
site above for all the latest news and
information.
As
part of the Wildland Project we offer
various Education
Services and would encourage school
teachers and group leaders to take a look at
this section where we suggest various field
trips to Knepp that tie in with the national
curriculum. There is scope too for
undergraduate and postgraduate research
projects to be carried out at Knepp.
The
Estate has a large portfolio of properties
with a wide variety of cottages, houses,
offices and light industrial units, and also
stables.
You can view what is currently available for
rent on Property

We
also have several sites for hire for
corporate and private functions, such as a
single storey barn equipped to a high
standard for catering, and a wonderful site
within the park for weddings. See Venue
Hire.

are aiming to develop the market for our

Wood Farm. If you are interested in
