  • Stays at a first-rate angling centre five minutes' drive from Battle
  • A 15-minute drive to Bexhill-on-Sea; 20 minutes to Hastings
  • Eight fishing lakes, tackle shop and café on site
With eight lakes to pick from, it’s no surprise that stays on site at Wylands Farm are particularly fine options for keen anglers. But that’s not all this East Sussex site has going for it: this is 1066 country, with historic Battle about a five-minute drive away, and the south coast about 20 minutes away. All this means that Wylands is an equally fine option for the sort of holiday that mixes up fishing time and other activities (or provides alternative outings for different strands of a family group…). Those who aren’t into fishing, or want a break from the water, might like to have a wander around Hastings, hit the beach in Bexhill-on-Sea or find walking trails in the surrounding High Weald National Landscape (or even in the 154 acres of woodland around the site). And for those looking to get stuck into the fishing? Well, there’s plenty on site – this is a place that’s earned itself a reputation as one of the best angling centres around. The eight lakes (including a catfish lake) cater for specialist, match and pleasure anglers, and there’s also a tackle shop for kit, food essentials and friendly advice, along with a café. (Please note that fishing is not included and must be booked separately.) Had a good day by the lake? Take yourself off to the local pub, a mile away, to celebrate over a drink and dinner – or sort supplies at the supermarket in Battle and spend the evening tending your barbecue back on site.

What customers say

Lovely, peaceful spot with great natural beauty & spacious sites. Handy cafe/farm shop. Good for fishing & walks. Some found pitches uneven & showers a bit dated.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Above my expectation to be honest as I visited a good few campsites within last few years and this place was nice and tidy very well organised very kind and helpful staff .Situated in the area where you can absolutely fully relax .
Brilliant opportunity for fishing enthusiasts as you got there more than enough of choice where you want fish .
I absolutely love this place and will try to come back there this year .
And definitely will be there next year.Not a lot for children but whole idea of camping is to get out from comfort and stay with nature not a monkey park

Disliked Nothing to dislike as it’s fantastic place for a decent price

Liked Nice location surrounded by fishing lakes
Lovely to walk round

Disliked Not enough showers and toilets
3 showers which need a revamp for 3 fields of campers only 6 toilets and 2 washing up sinks
Felt like camping fields an after thought
Shower block needs to be at least 3 times the size and needs updating whilst it was kept clean was grubby due to over use
Wouldn’t stay again

Liked Lovely peaceful site with friendly staff.
Lots of water points available close to pitches
Lovely large pitch
The cafe on site is fabulous- just wish it opened in the evenings too.

Disliked Lack of WiFi

Unable to get a TV signal

The ELSAN for emptying the caravan toilet waste into was up steps and then had to be lifted into the disposal unit which is not easy for an older person - perhaps this could be looked at.

Our pitch was on a slope which made it hard to get caravan level and we were not able to put the awning up.

Local attractions

Before you hasten over to Hastings (20 minutes’ drive), you might want to figure out your plan of action, because there’s a lot of activities to choose from. A beach day? Up the cliff railway for views over the Old Town? Or peering at the fish in the aquarium? Castles and other historic sights are scattered around this area too, including the 14th-century Bodiam Castle (20 minutes), the 300-acre 15th-century Herstmonceux Castle (15 minutes) and the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings (five minutes), now an English Heritage site. To add some more historic places into the mix, there’s the Benedictine Battle Abbey (five minutes) or the grand Great Dixter House & Gardens (25 minutes). And over in Bexhill-on-Sea (15 minutes), the beach is an added benefit on top of museums and the De La Warr Pavilion, which has shows and exhibitions in a Modernist building. To wash it all down, Carr Taylor Wines (15 minutes) runs vineyard tours. Or there are peaceful wildlife-packed wanders around the Powdermill Wood Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk) that will help to wind things down nicely.
