Hitch Wood is a magical ancient woodland set within the South Downs National Park just a stone's throw from the coast.
The woodland itself is a well mixed, mature oak and cedar are common throughout with an understory of hazel and impressive hornbeam coppice. Scots pine, birch, ash, maple and holly can also be found.
As you enter the woodland a wonderful private ride leads north to south through the woods. A large open clearing can be found in a central area making the perfect secluded space for camping and woodland activities. Underfoot, mosses, fern and grasses make navigation easy and woodland paths lead you in and around the level site. The woodland is completely private and there are no public footpaths through or near the wider wood.
For those with a keen interest in wildlife, muntjac and roe deer are regular visitors, both seen on our recent visit. Tawny owls, woodpeckers, nuthatches, sparrowhawks and buzzards have also been recorded.
Locally, The Ginger Fox pub and Devil's Dyke trail are both within walking distance.
Ideally situated, Hitch Wood is just a 15 minute drive from Brighton and the coast with easy access to the A23. London is just over an hour away.
Ward is Hurstpierpoint and Downs and the County Council is West Sussex
