This nature reserve in West Sussex features a mix of woodland, grassland, and wetland habitats, providing a haven for a diverse range of wildlife. The reserve's trails take visitors through ancient woodland, where they can spot species such as the lesser spotted woodpecker and the silver-washed fritillary butterfly. The meadows are awash with wildflowers in the summer, including orchids, oxeye daisies, and devil's-bit scabious. The reserve's wetlands attract a variety of birds, including snipe, lapwing, and curlew, while the woodland ponds are home to frogs, toads, and newts. With its rich tapestry of habitats, Kingcombe Meadows is a haven for nature lovers and a vital refuge for the local wildlife.
A beautiful place to walk and sit amongst 600 acres of protected countryside. We saw evidence of Beaver activity! You can buy wildflower plants and there is a cafe nestled amongst the wildlife garden serving delicious food.
Lovely walk in a beautiful area well maintained by the wildlife trust , good information at the centre and tea rooms just thoroughly enjoyed it
Parked in overflow car park just a few yards along from main entrance. All day walk going through flower meadows. Lucky with both weather & great display of flowers including orchids. Shame cafe closed today!
This is an incredibly beautiful place for anyone interested in nature and wildlife. The reserve escaped modern farming methods by accidents of history and due to this, it has an amazing amount of biodiversity. A 'must visit'!
A circular walk from Kingcombe Meadows through the nature reserve + along the footpaths, returning to enjoy a drink in the beautiful gardens.
Lovely walk! Great place for families and dogs.
