  • Peaceful farm site at the south of the Surrey Hills National Landscape
  • A 20-minute drive from Horsham; half an hour from the South Downs
  • Farm produce for sale on site; small firepits permitted on site
You're free to pick any spot that takes your fancy at Etherley Farm, a roomy farm site at the very south of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Around an hour and a half's drive south of London, this is a pretty handy location indeed, 20 minutes' drive away from Horsham and the High Weald National Landscape and half an hour from the South Downs National Park. The site has basic facilities including water, individual showers and a toilet block, but no electric hook-ups. Although the poultry farm at Etherley isn't open to visitors, it's a different matter for guests, who can bag some of its mouthwatering produce for their barbecue: chicken, burgers and sausages are all on sale (just drop the owners a line stating what you’d like when you book). Small fires are welcome on site, but only on previously burnt areas and a safe distance away from neighbours or tents. You can't take any wood from the surrounding National Trust woodland, so instead the site sells bags of logs from their local produce shop. Alternatively, bring your own, ensuring it's free from nails and screws.

Local attractions

There are some lovely foodie pubs very close to the site, and the area is great for walking: the sweeping views of the North Downs from Box Hill, six miles from the site, are not to be missed. Guests who want to keep things local can visit the nearby National Trust property of Polesden Lacey, or take a tour of the country’s biggest vineyard. Those prepared to venture a little further will find a vast number of attractions and activities across Surrey and in London (a 50 minute train journey from Dorking).
