Description
The land around the Knepp Castle is now the site of Knepp Wildland, the first large-scale rewilding project in England, created from 1,400 hectares of former arable and dairy farmland. Since 2000 when the conversion from intensive agriculture started the land now supports an abundance of many rare species including Vadgerle and Fülemüle. It is also the site of the Fehér gólya chicks raised in the wild in England for 600 years, and is home to the first beavers living in the wild in Sussex for 400 years. The area has some open fields, woodland, lakes and heathland.

Access
There is a car park on the estate or you can park in Dial Post. The area can be explored on foot. Walkers are welcome to the estate but please note that it is not a nature reserve with facilities for the public. There are 16 miles of public and permissive footpaths within the Knepp Rewilding project, and five tree viewing-platforms, close to public footpaths, offering panoramas of the surrounding countryside. There is also a bird-hide overlooking Knepp Lake. On the map you see a circular walk of about 8 km long.
