Great for dog walks. Plenty of trails too

What a horrible mess for walkers and wildlife! When is the RSPB going to stop cutting down trees and letting digger drivers flatten what woodland is left? They've made enough tracks for vehicles. Why can't they use them? It's heartbreaking visiting what used to be such a beautiful natural environment, even if it contained the wrong kind of trees apparently. Disgusted.

large area of open heathland and woodland with the odd pond and stream for good measure. Small car park. Some tracks quite muddy after rain so bring wellies. Dogs on leads during breeding and nesting season of 1 February to 30 September and also when entering areas where the wild Konik ponies roam.

Lovely place for a family walk and not too far from the lovely Nevill Crest & Gun pub 👌😂 Need good footwear as all the roads are sandy and dusty 👟🥾

Rude rspb members roam the area attacking dog owners. It’s a shame, used to be a nice relaxed area to go walking but last few times just seems to be a hostile environment, wouldn’t recommend for kids and definitely not for dogs.

Please ignore comments about dogs being unwelcome; this is only because some of ground-nesting species and the potential to scare livestock. RSPB are trying ultimately to make it a haven for birds to be fair. Dogs on leads are always welcome. Beautiful place and well-worth a visit. Lots of nightjars if you go at the right time of year!

Disappointed that dogs must be on lead at all times. A minority of owners with poor dog recall ability now has meant all dog owners can't let their dogs enjoy anytime off lead here. In addition RSPB seems to have invested precious monies into hiring people to drive around in large vehicles (the irony here of dog owners being blamed for their dogs destroying wildlife whilst large cars drive around doesn't escape me!) whose sole purpose (it seemed to me) is to militantly check your dog is on lead - one was continually tracking me with binoculars! I would warrant the majority of people that visit are nature lovers and own dogs so they are losing out on donations/word of mouth by behaving like this. I have studied environmental management - if areas need such heavy protection they should be entirely fenced off to completely reduce risk and this in the long run would be cheaper than hiring people to have to be guards.

Beautiful spot, love walking my dog here in the winter when she can go off lead and we can explore the woods!
Great route up to Eridge rocks too.
