VISIT TO SADDLESCOMBE FARM, NATIONAL TRUST

Pre-booking essential – please contact Jean Wright 01403 741986 for further details.

Saddlescombe farm is managed by the National Trust:

Saddlescombe has escaped the changes of modern farming, retaining many of its original buildings from the past four centuries. It has an intriguing history: documented in Domesday; home to the Knights Templar and lovingly portrayed in the book, ‘A South Downs Farm in the 1860s’, by Maude Robinson. TQ273115
