We are the Brighton and Hove Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We'll be walking a fairly flat 8.5 miles within the Knepp rewilding project. There are five tree platforms, close to public footpaths, offering panoramas of the surrounding countryside with the possibility of seeing pigs, ponies, deer and cattle roaming free.
Please bring water, snacks and a picnic lunch. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on leads to protect the wildlife.

Cars required.
If you can, please RSVP to this walk via our Meetup site. This will give the walk leader a rough idea of how many people may be attending. If you are a paid up member of the Ramblers organisation, you can ignore any waitlist you may find yourself on.
We don't ask you to pay to join us on your first three walks. Afterwards, in order to continue walking with our group, you must become a paid-up member of the Ramblers. Click here (https://www.ramblers.org.uk/membership) to apply. The cost is very reasonable and there are also other benefits. Please then bring your membership card with you.
Meet in the Knepp Castle Estate Walkers' carpark at 10.30am. Parking isn't metered but there is a suggested donation (£5) to help cover their costs. If you're early the cafe and coffee van in the Wilding courtyard (go through the entrance to the shop) may be open, and there are toilets on the side of the shop. Directions: Northbound on A24, from Washington roundabout, drive 4.8 miles (signpost to Knepp Wilding Kitchen and Shop). There is a sharp left turn off the A24 and the entrance to the car park is approximately 150 metres on the right.
