Working with nature to build a sustainable future
Welcome to Knepp, a trailblazing 3,500-acre rewilding project in Sussex that has changed the way we think about nature and how we can heal our planet.
A Wildlife Haven...
Since we began rewilding in 2000, life has poured back to Knepp, including nightingales, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies – some of the rarest creatures in Britain. Roaming herds of cattle, ponies, pigs and deer shape the land, creating dynamic scrubland, wild meadows, wetland and wood pasture. Knepp is a story of hope, showing how nature can bounce back if we let it.
Knepp is more than a destination – it’s part of a movement. We host an exciting line-up of events throughout the year, from creative workshops, art exhibitions and supper clubs, to talks by leading voices from the world of nature, gardening and food.
Join one of our Guided Safaris and let our expert ecologists take you into the heart of the Wildland, through a range of stunning natural habitats heaving with wildlife. Weave through rewilded scrub and spot white storks circling the skies, free-roaming herbivores grazing the land, and purple emperor butterflies feeding on honeydew.
Immerse in the wonder of nature with a stay at Knepp. Awake to birdsong in our award-winning, safari-style campsite or go glamping in one of our treehouses, shepherd’s huts, forest cabins or luxurious yurts, surrounded by ancient woodland and a wildflower meadow, with wild swimming, sauna and yoga on your doorstep.
Our Wilding Kitchen celebrates nature-focused cooking with sustainable, seasonal produce from our organic Market Garden and Knepp Butchery. The restaurant has been awarded a prestigious green MICHELIN star, recognising culinary excellence and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
Slow-grown, pasture-fed meat sourced from our rewilding project and partner farms is available online, direct from Knepp’s in-house butchery. High in welfare, low in impact, and full of flavour, it’s positively better for the planet, animals and you.
Join one of our Garden Tours or Workshops and discover a revolutionary, resilient garden of the future. Designed by Tom Stuart-Smith and James Hitchmough – and inspired by what we’ve learnt from rewilding the wider landscape at Knepp – our garden is an enchanting, thought-provoking space humming with wildlife.
