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 Latest News link has information about events in the wider locality as well as on Knepp itself. There is an opportunity to air your views and comments on Feedback.

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 Rental.

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.

We are aiming to develop the market for our wild-range meat and retail our produce through Garlic Wood Farm.

WEDDINGS

Our parkland is home to free-roaming animals that live a near-natural life in a project that seeks to emulate a time before mankind. It's all about biodiversity. Herds of longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies, deer and even pigs quietly go about their business driving vegetation changes and creating habitat for wildlife.

We’ve been having parties here for years, but now Beautiful World Tents are promoting this unique location as a wedding venue.

So far most couples have been a little alternative, and the idea of a tepee wedding amongst some real nature seems to appeal.

Many have been attracted not only by the wildlife and setting, but also by the ability to camp the night.
