Horsenden Farm

I'm glad to have done a team building activity with the company I work for, which consisted in a volunteer day at this farm. The space is lovely and the people responsible for the space are really great people! It is a nice place to do volunteering (lots of work to do!) If you like to connect with nature and animals. Must be cool for kids as well!

We've been there for Apple Day. It was an amazing event to gather people for celebrating harvest time of apples. Horsenden Farm is a family friendly nature reserve with a lot of natural activities including walking, golf, natural skills and when you reach on the top of Horsenden Hill you will be amazed by surrounding scenery of London.

I discovered this place by accident when I was younger it's a very beautiful place to visit if you need to have some breathe time. There's a hill one of the highest in the area. You can see Heathrow on one side and you can see central London on the golf course side. It's like a different world compared to the surrounding.

This used to be fairly derelict, and it's actually pretty cool to see the way that this farm has been revived, with the community that's sprung up around it with various local artisans plying their wares (the Sunday bakery is especially notable).

Nice hill walk up the back of the farm (but not so good in wet weather), and there's a golf course nearby too, along with the local canoe club.

Visited on the 31/08/22 and it was a lovely day out! But please have more staff keeping an eye on animals.. 3 kids were winding the brown and white cow up and made it so stressed it ran away whilst they filmed it.

It's a lovely place to visit if you're in the neighbourhood or plant to have a picnic.
The trail is quite short (~20min) and is fit for all ages.

Walking up the hill is usually very muddy but lots of fun if you have the wellies.
Masses of space to social distance and a great view from the top.
There's also the gruffalo tail with superb carvings of the characters.

Fantastic forest park,nice Gruffalo figures for children to enjoy.
Plenty of places for picnics and free carpark.
